Securities

Kent State accepts gifts of appreciated securities such as stocks and bonds as contributions. These types of gifts may offer better tax benefits than gifts of cash. 

Electronic Transfer

Gifts of securities can be made to Kent State through electronic transfer made by your  accountant or broker. 

Physical Securities Registered to the Foundation

You can also have securities transferred into the Kent State University’s name by working with your accountant, broker or issuing agent. After the transfer is complete, send the security via registered mail and include the transmittal letter identifying the name and address of the donor, the security description and transfer and where you would like your donation directed.

Physical Securities Registered to the Donor

You may also make a donation of physical securities registered in your name.
