Gifts of Stock, QCDs, RMDs, and DAFs
Doorways happily accepts stock donations! Donating your appreciated stock is one of many ways to give to Doorways! We also accept Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs, also known as IRA Charitable Rollovers), Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs), and donor-advised fund (DAF) gifts.
For questions or for stock gift notification, please contact Joy Myers, Chief Development and Strategy Officer at jmyers@doorwaysva.org or (703) 504-9290.
It is Doorways’ policy that donations of stock are sold as soon as they are received. Doorways will recognize, for accounting purposes, the value received upon sale. Donors are encouraged to consult with their own legal and tax advisors concerning the tax implications of a stock donation and how the value of a donation is reported to tax authorities.
When a stock is transferred, the names of donors are not generally communicated from the donor’s brokerage firm to Doorways’ brokerage firm. Donors are asked to notify Doorways of a stock donation prior to transfer so that we can properly credit and acknowledge the gift. Additional stock donation information is available here (open PDF document).
