How a stock gift becomes cash for your nonprofit.
One company handles the whole gift. Donors send shares from their own broker; we receive them, sell them, receipt the donor and deposit the cash with you, minus 1.9%.
- No brokerage account
- No setup or monthly fees
- Free for donors
Where the gift is, at every step.
Your nonprofit never holds the shares and never opens a brokerage account. From transfer to deposit the gift sits with one company, and you see each stage as it happens.
Pledged
The donor tells us what's coming: the stock, the number of shares and your organization. You get an alert the same moment.
Received
The shares arrive from the donor's brokerage in Stock Donator's account, matched to the pledge and to the donor's name.
Sold
We sell the shares. The sale price is the number on your statement, next to the 1.9% fee.
Deposited
The cash usually reaches your nonprofit within 2–4 business days of the sale, by free check, ACH or wire. For a bank transfer you confirm your bank details first.
Along the way the donor's IRS-compliant receipt goes out automatically, with your name on it.
Your side: four steps, once.
Most of the work happens before the first gift arrives, and it takes minutes.
Open your free account
Basic organization details. We verify your 501(c)(3) status.
Choose how you get paid
Free check, ACH ($10) or wire ($35, waived for gifts of $50,000 or more). No brokerage account, ever.
Add the button to your website
Paste your donate-stock button, or share your donation-page link in emails and appeals.
Get the funds
We handle the sale. Proceeds usually arrive within 2–4 business days of the sale; for ACH or wire, you confirm your bank details first.
Your donor's side: two ways to give.
Online in about five minutes, or by transfer from their own broker. Either way, we prepare the forms and send the receipt.
Donate online
Click your link, then pick the stock, ETF or mutual fund and the number of shares.
Confirm. We generate the required forms and send the transfer request to their brokerage. A few firms, such as Fidelity, need the donor to sign and send the form first; we show the steps.
Their IRS-compliant receipt arrives automatically, with your name on it.
Donate through their broker
Tell us what's coming: the stock, the shares and your organization, online or on a paper form.
Hand their broker the ready-to-use transfer instructions, including DTC details.
The gift is matched, tracked and receipted just like an online donation.
Some brokerages require a Medallion Signature Guarantee for a transfer. When one does, we tell the donor exactly what to do.
On either path, nobody asks for the donor's brokerage username or password.
The shares move in kind. Nobody sells first.
The donor transfers the shares themselves, broker to broker, instead of selling them and sending cash. The gift arrives whole, and we place the sale.
From nearly any brokerage
Fidelity, Schwab, Vanguard, E*TRADE and most other firms, by transfer or online.
Sold by us, not the donor
The sale happens after the shares reach us, so the donor never handles it.
One fee, out of the gift
1.9% of the processed gift, $15 minimum. Nothing is charged to the donor.
You know who gave, so you can say thank you.
Every gift arrives with the donor's name and contact details, unless the donor chooses to give anonymously.
Name and contact, with every gift
Your thank-you can go out the week the gift lands, not after a month of detective work.
Anonymous, when the donor prefers
The gift still arrives, tracked and deposited, listed as an anonymous donor.
No more mystery stock
Shares that land with no name attached are the problem we were built to end.
The second gift takes a few clicks.
Donors who open a free donor account save their details once. Every gift after the first is: pick the charity, pick the shares, confirm. Every receipt stays in one place.
