If your shares are also held at one of these institutions, simply
notify your broker and CFNIL that you would like to gift X amount
of shares of ABC Company stock or mutual fund to the Community Foundation.
It is very important to let the broker know that CFNIL has an account
at their institution for transfer of securities. Please use the following
sample letter to do this. Once we have received notice of your gift,
CFNIL will send you a gift letter acknowledging the mean value of
your gift and confirming the fund that it will go into. CFNIL will
send you a second letter upon receipt of the net sale proceeds, informing
you of the exact amount that was deposited into your chosen fund.
