Many prefer to give appreciated securities directly to the MIT Press rather than sell them and donate their proceeds, as this allows for certain tax benefits and can help diversify your assets. If you own securities that have lost value, you can sell the stock, take the capital loss deduction, and make a gift to the MIT Press.
Whether your stocks are held by yourself or are kept with a bank/broker, it is important that you notify MIT in advance of making a gift of securities. This will help to ensure that proper crediting and timely acknowledgement take place.
If the stock certificate(s) is/are held by a bank or broker
Please fill out the notification of stock gift form, where you will specify one of these MIT Press Accounts:
- Open Access Fund, #3664125
- Muriel Cooper Memorial Design Fund, #3753205
- Fund for the Future and Public Understanding of Science, #3876985
- Frank Urbanowski Memorial Innovation Fund, #3920880
- Fund for Diverse Voices, #3860213
After completing, please share these instructions with your bank/broker to initiate the transfer.
If you prefer not to use this form, either you or your broker may contact MIT’s Office of the Recording Secretary, at 617.253.5048 or RecSec@mit.edu, to report what is being given and receive instructions on how to complete the transfer of shares to the MIT Press.
