Giving stocks and bonds that have increased in value (and that you have owned for more than one year) provides even greater tax benefits than giving cash.

How can I give?
If your stock is held in custody with a brokerage firm or bank trust department, you can make a direct transfer of the securities from the custodian firm or bank to Denton Wesley Foundation’s account at Edward Jones. 
You should instruct the holding institution to make a direct transfer, known as a “DTC”, with the following instructions:
Please deliver [insert #] shares of [insert stock name and symbol] from my account with [insert brokerage firm name], account number [insert account number] to:
DTCC #:    0057
Account Name:  Denton Wesley Foundation, Inc.
Account #: 76420807
