Ways to Give
Our giving options are as unique as our donors. But what every gift has in common is that it is truly appreciated.

GIFTS OF SECURITIES
Donate your stocks, bonds or other securities and earn tax benefits at the same time. If you have held your securities for more than one year, you may find that your gift will provide a twofold tax benefit, creating an income-tax deduction as well as helping avoid the capital-gains tax that would have been due on their sale.
If you wish to transfer stock from a brokers account please USE THIS FORM. If you wish to make a gift of physical securities on hand they may be sent by certified mail or overnight express with endorsement on the back of the certificate(s) exactly as stated on the face of the certificate(s). Please do not fill in any other blanks. No stock power is necessary as long as you do not fill in Boston Ballet’s name on the back.
You may also make a gift of mutual funds, non-marketable stock, or closely held stock.
