DOES THE MONEY FROM A SALE OF STOCK HAVE TO BE DISBURSED IMMEDIATELY? CAN THE MONEY JUST BE HELD IN CASH UNTIL WE DECIDE TO WITHDRAW?

We do not hold money on your behalf. Each donation is sent via a separate check as soon as the funds are available as we are not a bank.  However, sometimes if we have multiple donations on the same date and we are sending a wire transfer, we can combine them to keep transfer fees down.
