Why nonprofits have chosen us since 2011

From the first pledge to the last receipt, the work is ours.

Your donors can give from nearly any brokerage.

Online in about five minutes, or by transfer from their own broker with instructions we provide. Donors at any other firm choose “Other brokerage” and we walk them through the transfer.

  • Fidelity
  • Charles Schwab
  • Vanguard
  • E*TRADE
  • Merrill Edge
  • Wells Fargo Advisors
  • T. Rowe Price
  • USAA
  • Other brokerage

Because of those firms' policies, we can't accept transfers from Robinhood or Computershare.

Both sides of the gift.

What your team does once, and what a donor does each time they give.

Your side

  1. Open your free account

    Basic organization details; we verify your 501(c)(3) status. It takes minutes.

  2. Choose how you get paid

    Tell us where to send the money. No brokerage account, ever.

  3. Add the button to your website

    Paste the personalized button, or share your donation-page link in emails and appeals.

  4. Get the funds

    Proceeds usually arrive within 2–4 business days of the sale, by free check, ACH or wire. For ACH and wire you confirm your bank details first.

Your donor's side

  1. Click your link

    Pick the stock, ETF or mutual fund and the number of shares.

  2. Confirm

    We generate the forms and send the transfer request to their brokerage. A few firms, such as Fidelity, need the donor's signed form first, and we show them the steps.

  3. Done

    Their IRS-compliant receipt arrives automatically, with your name on it.
