GIFTS OF STOCK
Publicly traded securities can be used to make an outright gift to Special Olympics or to make a gift through a bequest in a will or codicil. Donated securities can often result in significant tax advantages; however, we strongly advise you to first discuss the issues with a qualified tax accountant or attorney. If you would like to make a gift of stock to Special Olympics, please read the following instructions below:
1) If you are in possession of the securities: send by registered mail or express mail the unendorsed certificates with a letter of transmittal stating your name and address and any special instructions for the gift to:
Special Olympics Southern California
Attn: CFO
5875 Green Valley Circle, Suite 200
Culver City, CA 90230
2) In a separate envelope, mail, to the same address, stock power executed in blank for each certificate. Please include a copy of your transmittal letter.
If you have further questions regarding the transmittal of securities, please e-mail or call our CFO at 310-215-8380 ext. 129.
