Securities Heading link
Giving your stocks, bonds, mutual funds and other appreciated securities can provide immediate assistance to UIC while being part of a planned giving strategy. You can also receive tax benefits from this method of giving. These gifts require special planning and should involve consultation with your financial advisor.
To make a gift of publicly traded stocks or mutual funds via electronic transfer, please contact the Foundation Cash Receipts Department for delivery instructions at cashdesk@uif.uillinois.edu or (217) 244-0352.
The Foundation does not publish the delivery instructions in an effort to ensure proper identification of the donor transferring the gift. Please verify the name of the securities and appropriate number of shares to be received and the designation of the gift prior to the transfer.
For mailing physical certificates, please send the certificate and stock power separately (for security purposes) to:
