Option 2:

Contact Pastor Marianne, with your name, the exact amount of your gift, and the name of your IRA custodian so we can provide you with substantiation for your tax return. Please note that we are not able to give formal tax advice, and we strongly advise you to have these gifts reviewed by your own qualified financial or tax advisor.

Why consider this gift?

Giving stocks and bonds that have increased in value (and that you have owned for more than one year) provides even greater tax benefits than giving cash. Not only is the market value of the securities deductible (subject to applicable limitations), but you also avoid paying the capital gains tax on the appreciation.

How can I give?If your stock is held in custody with a brokerage firm or bank trust department, you can make a direct transfer of the securities from the custodian firm or bank to Denton Wesley Foundation’s account at Edward Jones. 
You should instruct the holding institution to make a direct transfer, known as a “DTC”, with the following instructions:Please deliver [insert #] shares of [insert stock name and symbol] from my account with [insert brokerage firm name], account number [insert account number] to:
DTCC #:    0057
Account Name:  Denton Wesley Foundation, Inc.
Account #: 76420807
