Gifts of securities that are held as book entry can easily be transferred to LCIF via wire transfer. Book entry means the donor does not hold actual security certificates but rather has a receipt indicating ownership of the security.

Complete the donation form and send it to your brokerage firm in order to initiate the wire transfer process.

The securities should be sent to Scottrade using the following information:  

Scottrade DTC # 0705
Lions Clubs International Foundation Account #52156075
1600 W. 16th Street, Suite T10
Oak Brook, IL  60523
 
Phone: 1-800-571-2712, Wesley Whamond

A copy of the completed form should be sent to:  

LCIF
Attn: LCIF Development Department
300 West 22nd Street
Oak Brook,  IL  60523-8842
USA

Phone: 630-468-6848

In an electronic transfer, the gift date is the day on which the broker actually transfers the securities from the donor’s account to LCIF’s account. The value of the securities is the mean between the high and low prices on that date (gift date).
