To help you facilitate a gift of stock, please use the following instructions. If you have a specific question, please contact our National organization at (800) 797-8022 option 5.

Step 1: INITIATE TRANSFER
There are two common methods of gifting securities to the American Red Cross. The first is Electronic transfer through which your broker can transfer shares using the Red Cross DTC number. The other is physically mailing the paper certificates to the Red Cross Treasury department. Either method is acceptable, but it is necessary for you to contact your broker to initiate the transfer.
