Making a gift of stock can be a win-win for donors and nonprofits! The SETI Institute is happy to receive gifts of stock; our policy is to sell donated stocks promptly after the transfer is received. Your gift acknowledgment will indicate the value of the stocks at the point of sale: this will be your donation amount for tax purposes. To transfer stock to SETI Institute, please give your broker this information:
Brokerage: Morgan Stanley, Palo Alto
Account #: 112-123448-152
DTC: 015 Acct.
name: SETI Institute
It is very helpful if you can contact us prior to transferring a gift of stock. By knowing the type of stock and its approximate value or number of shares, we can notify our Morgan Stanley broker and ensure that your gift is properly stewarded.
The SETI Institute also accepts gifts of Crypto currency. To make a Crypto gift follow this link: https://www.every.org/seti/donate/crypto .
Another way to make a meaningful gift to the SETI Institute is by including us in your estate plans. Bequest gifts can have a remarkable impact, and are recognized in our donor rolls. Supporters who make arrangements for estate gifts are invited to join the SETI Institute’s Legacy Society, which offers VIP invitations and the opportunity to learn more about our long-term organizational plans.
