Stocks or Other Securities

Using shares of appreciated stock or other securities is another common way to contribute to the AIP Foundation that may offer benefits to the donor as well as the beneficiary. The Foundation accepts gifts of securities via electronic transfer and physical stock certificates.

Electronic transfer of stocks through your broker

Before initiating a stock transfer, contact Mariann Salisbury at the AIP Foundation (msalisbury@aip.org or 301-209-3098) to inform the Foundation of the forthcoming transfer including how you wish to designate your gift.

To initiate the digital transfer of shares from your brokerage account to the AIP Foundation, there is certain information your broker will need:

Beneficiary name and address:
AIP Foundation
One Physics Ellipse
College Park, MD 20740
Tax ID: 83-4485064

Your broker will also need this account information to complete the transfer:

  • Receiving firm name: Vanguard
  • Receiving firm DTC number: 0062
  • Receiving account number: 86309847

Stock Certificate Transfers

If you own the stock certificate(s) yourself, mail it/them (unsigned) and a completed Stock Power Form, in separate envelopes, but on the same day, to

AIP Foundation
Attn: Development Office
One Physics Ellipse
College Park, MD 20740-9910

We recommend that you send the stock certificate(s) by certified mail. In one of the envelopes, please also include a note indicating the purpose or fund to receive your gift.

* If the stock is registered in more than one name, each person must sign the stock power form. Stock power forms are available at most banks.You must use a separate stock power form for each individual stock.

Closely Held Stock

You can make a charitable gift of closely held shares of stock in your own company and receive the same tax benefits as if those shares had been publicly traded.
