Gifts of Appreciated Securities

WPC Planters - Coleus - Potato VineSupport the Conservancy's work by making a gift of stocks, bonds, or mutual funds. In addition to making a difference for people, wildlife and the environment, a gift of appreciated securities offers you significant benefits. These include an immediate charitable deduction for the full market value of the stock and avoidance of capital gains taxes that would normally be due upon sale.

Electronic Transfer through your Broker

Securities may be transferred electronically via DTC (Depository Trust Company) from your broker to the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy. The transfer is effective when the Conservancy receives the securities in its account.


If you would like to make a gift of securities, please contact Lauren Licata at 412-586-2336
or Llicata@paconserve.org for the most current DTC transfer instructions.
