KEXP accepts gifts of appreciated securities (stocks, bonds). Making a gift of securities is simple:
If your securities are held "in street name" with your broker, send your broker a letter of authorization to transfer (not sell) shares of specific stock(s) to our main brokerage account.
Your instructions should specify your account number; the date by which you wish to complete the gift, the name and number of shares you would like to donate and the purpose of your gift (often, this would be “unrestricted gift to KEXP”); and provide the following transfer information:
Brokerage: The Bank of New York Mellon/Mellon Trust of New England, NA

If you are transferring stock from a joint account, both account owners must sign the letter or email. You can contribute stock from several companies held within the same account.
Please check with your broker soon after sending the letter to ensure that the transfer is complete, especially if you initiate this gift shortly before December 31.
Please contact KEXP Donor Services, donorservices@kexp.org or 206-520-5843, to help facilitate a smooth transfer of stock.
If you have stock or bond certificates, please contact us to arrange for delivery.
To ensure your gift is received by the end of the year, gifts of securities are best initiated by December 15th.
For any other questions, please contact KEXP Donor Services, donorservices@kexp.org or 206-520-5843.
