Gifts of Stocks and Securities

Making a gift of stock or other securities is a wonderful way to support WPI and may offer tax advantages. We’re here to help you through the process—just follow these steps:

Important Year-End Deadlines

  • Electronic (DTC) Transfers: Must be completed by 12:00 p.m. on Wednesday, December 31, 2025.
  • Hand-Delivered Stock Certificates: Must be received by 12:00 p.m. on December 31, 2025.
  • Mailed Stock Certificates: Must be postmarked by December 31, 2025.

How to Transfer Securities:

  • If your shares are held in a brokerage or trust account, ask your broker or trust officer to contact Kaitlin Badjo at kmbadjo@wpi.edu or 508-831-4679 for instructions.
  • If you hold physical stock certificates, you can:
    • Hand-deliver them to WPI.
    • Mail them via U.S. Postal Service. (Certificates and signed stock powers should be mailed in separate envelopes for security.)

Helpful Tips 

  • Please let us know when you initiate a transfer so we can track and credit your gift promptly.
  • Do not sell the stock yourself—transferring it directly to WPI helps you avoid capital gains tax.
  • The value of your gift is based on the average of the high and low prices on the date WPI receives the securities.
  • We’ll send a confirmation when your gift is received.
