  • Stocks and split amounts

    For stock gifts that re split into multiple funds … We get fund split amount (we transfer the fund split amounts separately to our General Ledger (NOT FE)) BUT … Then we have to deal with Stock Sale Amount because that is what we really need to transmit. There is no way to apportion that to the funds...

  • Re: Stock acks - value at donation vs. value at selling

    Hi Howard, Our process is: We generally receive a call from the transferring brokerage firm or the donor alerting us to a gift.

  • Stock acks - value at donation vs. value at selling

    We acknowledge stock gifts to the donor as soon as our broker informs us we have a stock transferred. We usually sell immmediately. There is often a price fluctuation between when the donor gives the stock and when we sell it. And it also can take a number of weeks to actually get the checks for the...

  • Re: IRS written acknowledgment of non-cash stock gift

    Zoe, I don't know that it changed. I've been doing thank you's for stock gifts for 15 years (wow - can't believe it's been that long) and all we have ever done is gift of X shares ABC stock. Have not included $ figures at any point during this time. If it changed it was before 1996

  • IRS written acknowledgment of non-cash stock gift

    Hello to all, Regarding stock gift values, previously our donor acknowledgments would include the valued amount of a donor's stock gift. Through forum conversation, I understand this is no longer a requirement on a written acknowledgment. So I had something to share with our donors about this, I...

  • Stock Gift Intentions

    Hi, Is anyone recording stock gift intentions, or pledges, in BBEC? Right now we just track any stock gift details in a spreadsheet until the gift comes in. Then it is entered into BBEC. We're hoping we can track that info in BBEC, instead of in a spreadsheet. Thanks! David

  • Re: Best Practices regarding Stock Gifts

    For receipts, we only do the simple, bare minimum. We acknowledge their gift of ## shares of ABC stock gifted to us on date we received. Many people include stock value figures as in previous reply, we just never have.
