To transfer funds via wire transfer either domestically or internationally, you will need to provide your bank with Stanford’s bank account information. Follow the steps below to ensure accurate processing.

To make a gift of securities, follow these steps:

• For your securities gift to count for this fiscal year, check with your broker as early as possible for their deadline to initiate transfers. Gifts must be received by Stanford’s broker or bank by August 21st to guarantee acknowledgment in the fiscal year honor roll. Anything received after the 21st will be processed on a best-efforts basis. (We suggest donors initiate their gift transfers no later than August 12th to ensure Stanford receives them by our processing deadline of August 21st, 2024).
• For your securities gift to count for this calendar year, check with your broker as early as possible for their deadline to initiate transfers. Stock gifts must be received in Stanford’s brokerage account by close of business (6 p.m. Eastern Time) on December 31st, 2024, in order to qualify as a charitable donation this tax year. During the holidays, brokerage firms do not guarantee transfer in 2024 for requests made after certain dates. Please confirm the 2024 transfer cut-off dates with your broker.
• Please complete the Securities Transfer Request form (specifying where you want your gift to go in the “Gift Designation” box on the form) and send it to your broker or financial adviser. Call +1 (650) 721-1917 with questions.
• Initiate the transfer with your broker and send a copy of your completed form to Stanford Gift Securities at [email protected], fax to + 1 (650) 721-2417, or mail to this address: Stanford Gift Securities, P.O. Box 50810, Palo Alto, CA 94303.
• For more information, please see instructions for appreciated securities transfer.

A gift of appreciated securities can be a highly effective way to support Stanford GSB. Appreciated securities held more than 12 months offer extra tax advantages, such as a charitable income tax deduction (if you itemize your taxes) and avoidance of capital gains tax (since you may claim a tax deduction for the market value rather than the purchase price for long-term stock).

International Donors

As Stanford GSB’s influence continues to grow around the globe and our alumni increasingly move outside U.S. borders, overseas support is becoming more critical to our success.

Many alumni have established charitable gift funds, either personally or through community or professional foundations. Charitable gift funds provide donors a convenient way to participate in annual giving.

The federal tax identification number for Stanford University is 94-1156365.
