Making a Gift of Securities

You may ask your broker to transfer the shares electronically from your account to the College’s gift account at Alex.Brown (A Division of Raymond James), Baltimore:

  • Washington College (WC) Federal tax ID # 52-059-1691
  • WC’s gift account # at Alex. Brown: 600FC425
  • DTC # 0725

To ensure proper crediting of this gift without delay, you must contact the Washington College Advancement Office with the following information:

(1) the donor’s name, (2) the name of the stock(s), (3) the number of shares to be transferred, and (4) intended gift purpose before transferring the stock.

Important to note:

  • A gift transaction is complete only when the stock is received in Washington College’s account — not when you give your broker instructions to make the gift. You’ll want to make sure the transfer is completed by your intended deadline.
  • For your protection, if you decide to mail physical stock certificates, please call our office for further instructions.
  • The phone number at Alex.Brown is 410-525-6230.

Thank you for your generosity to Washington College!
