Upon making your gift of mutual funds, please notify the Recording Secretary’s Office so we can properly credit your gift by sending an email to RecSec@mit.edu or calling 617.253.5048 with the following:
Name of donor
Security name and symbol
Number of shares
Gift purpose (designation)
Some mutual fund shares may require special handling and set up before transfer can occur. Because this process can take time, we recommend all gifts of mutual funds be initiated no later than 10 business days prior to expected gift date.
Please direct all mutual fund transfer questions to the Recording Secretary’s Office at recsec@mit.edu or 617.253.5048.
