Gifts of Stock

Follow these two-step instructions for transferring stock to the ΊμΠΣΦ±²¥ Foundation electronically through DTC (shares currently held at a bank, brokerage house, etc.).

DTC (Depository Trust Company) Transfer

Step 1

Direct your broker or custodian bank to make the transfer to the ΊμΠΣΦ±²¥ Foundation. Your broker or custodian bank is likely to ask you for a letter of instruction before the transfer can be made. Provide the following DTC transfer information for the ΊμΠΣΦ±²¥ Foundation to your broker or custodian bank:

Wells Fargo Clearing Services, LLC

DTC Participant #: 0141
ΊμΠΣΦ±²¥ Foundation Clearing Account #2424-8876
Reference (donor name, the purpose of the gift, and that the gift is intended for the Berkshire Community College Foundation)*

*Without this note, gifts are difficult to identify.

Step 2

Notify the ΊμΠΣΦ±²¥ Foundation of your gift. Send a copy of your letter of instructions to:

Email: foundation@berkshirecc.edu
Phone: 413-236-2185
Mail: ΊμΠΣΦ±²¥ Foundation
1350 West Street
Pittsfield, MA 01201

Please be sure the following information is included:

  • Your name
  • Your address
  • Name of security
  • Number of shares
  • Purpose of the gift
  • Name of brokerage

Please note: Your gift will be dated according to the day the shares enter the ΊμΠΣΦ±²¥ Foundation's clearing account at Wells Fargo. The value of your gift will be based on that date. At busy times of the year, the DTC system can back up.

Year-end gift deadline for tax deductions: Please allow extra time for the transfer from your broker's account to the ΊμΠΣΦ±²¥ Foundation's Wells Fargo account, and emphasize to your broker the importance of completing the transfer by Dec. 31. When the 31st falls on a weekend, the transfer should be completed by the preceding Friday.


Donor Advised Funds

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is like a charitable investment account for the sole purpose of supporting charitable organizations you care about. It is a simple, flexible, and tax-advantageous way to give. When making a donor-advised fund recommendation, please name ΊμΠΣΦ±²¥ All Rights Reserved Foundation as the recipient. Our tax ID/EIN is 04-2736585.
