How do I execute a stock transfer to my church?

Question

I'm in the United States, and have a stock certificate that I want to transfer to my church. Is there anything I have to do other than fill in the transfer information on the back of the certificate?

Answer 1

Contact your church to let them know what's going on. They might have a special account or method of handling this transaction.

Also, you'll most likely need to get a receipt (if it's value is over $250).

Answer 2

That is about all you need to do.
