• had difficulty completing all your year-end securities gifts prior to year-end?
• had a donor opt to give cash because giving securities was just too complicated or time consuming?
• received a DTC transfer of securities from a “mystery donor” and then had trouble identifying them?
• had an unhappy donor because the transfer took too long and the value of the securities went down?
• had trouble processing gifts of restricted stocks, mutual funds, or other uncommon securities?
• lost a key staff member responsible for processing securities gifts thereby disrupting your securities donation program?
• lost securities gifts because you simply give donors your brokerage account information and leave it to them and complete the transfer with the help of their own broker?
• had to open a new account just to receive one mutual fund gift?
