  Gifts of securities

  Giving appreciated stocks or bonds that you have held for more than one year is one of the most tax-advantageous ways to give. With certain limitations, you can deduct the full fair market value of long-term appreciated securities and usually avoid the tax on the gain.

  If the stock is in street name in a brokerage account:

  1. The donor’s broker may wire the stock to 91���� Northampton’s account at the following wire address:

  DTC #0015
  Re: Charitable Account No. 357-898629-517
  91���� Northampton School
  Morgan Stanley Smith Barney
  Worcester, MA
  Attn: Nancy Oldakowski
  (800) 451-4027

  2. For all transfers please put the following language in the memo field: “91���� Northampton School Gift”

  3. Alternatively donor’s broker may open an account in the school’s name and transfer the securities into that account. Please have the donor’s broker call the Chief Advancement Officer, Eric Yates at (413) 529-3306.

  It is very important that the donor or the donor’s broker call the Advancement Office (413) 529-3300 to notify the school that a wire transfer is occurring. When the donor has possession of a stock certificate in his or her name: the donor should mail the unsigned certificate by certified or regular mail to Eric Yates, Chief Advancement Officer, 91���� Northampton School, 19 Payson Avenue, Easthampton, MA 01027. Under separate cover by regular mail, the donor should send to the same address a stock power signed exactly as the donor’s name appears on the stock certificate but not filled out otherwise. In addition, the donor must also include a signed security release form (only the shaded portion need be filled in.) Both these forms may be obtained by calling the Advancement Office. Stock powers may also be obtained at banks or brokerage houses. Please note that in order to receive proper credit for capital gains tax purposes, it is imperative that the stock is sold in the school’s account and not the account of the donor.

  Gifts from your IRA

  You can make a tax-free Qualified Charitable Contribution from your traditional IRA (other qualified retirement plans such as 401(k)s and 403(b)s are not eligible). You must be at least 70 1/2 years old to take advantage of this opportunity (see ). You must transfer your Qualified Charitable Contribution directly from your IRA administrator to 91���� Northampton School. The total of all of your rollover contributions in any one year cannot exceed $111,000 per person. A spouse with a separate IRA could also make a rollover contribution of up to $111,000 if they otherwise qualify.

  The benefits of an IRA charitable rollover contribution include:

  • Satisfies the required minimum distribution but is not included in taxable income.
  • Avoids income tax on IRA withdrawals.
  • Supports the important work of 91���� with a tax-free gift (our EIN is 04-1975990).
  • Checks should be sent directly from your IRA administrator, made payable to 91���� Northampton School, and mailed to 91���� Northampton School, 19 Payson Avenue, Easthampton, MA 01027 with your name in the memo line.
