Support TCN Through a Stock Gift
Making a stock donation to TCN supports our work to strengthen communities through connectivity, workforce development, and long-term community capacity.
How to Make a Gift
Individual donors can make a stock donation through the Stock Donator platform. The page is designed to guide you through each step and help initiate the transfer.

Transfer Forms Are Generated
Once you submit your information, Stock Donator generates the required forms and initiates the stock transfer request.
Complete Any Brokerage Requirements
(Optional) Some brokerage firms use Medallion Signatures as part of the validation process for stock transfers. If your brokerage requires this, you may need to obtain a medallion signature on your stock transfer forms before the request can be completed.

Proceeds Are Sent to TCN
Stock Donator provides the proceeds of the donation, minus any applicable fees or service charges, based on the organization’s selected processing method. Depending on the setup, the stock may be liquidated immediately or transferred as stock.

Why does TCN accept stock donations?
Stock donations give supporters another way to contribute to TCN’s mission.
For some donors, giving stock may be a practical alternative to making a cash gift. It can allow supporters to contribute in a way that aligns with how they manage their assets, while helping TCN build long-term support for its work.
Which stocks does TCN accept?
TCN currently accepts:
- Publicly traded
- Domestic common stock
Are stock donations tax-deductible?
Stock donations may be tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.
Depending on your circumstances, donating appreciated stock may also help reduce capital gains taxes that could otherwise be owed if the stock were sold first and the proceeds donated separately.
Because each donor’s tax situation is different, TCN does not provide tax advice. We recommend consulting a qualified financial advisor, tax professional, or legal advisor to determine how a stock gift may apply to your individual circumstances.
Why do donors choose to give stock?
Donors choose to give stock for different reasons. For some, it is a convenient way to make a charitable contribution using appreciated assets. For others, it may be part of a broader giving plan or a way to support a nonprofit at a higher level than they might through a direct cash donation.
Giving stock may be especially appealing to donors who:
-
Hold appreciated securities
-
Want to support charitable work in a different way
-
Are planning their giving strategically
-
Prefer to contribute through an asset-based gift rather than a cash gift
What should I do before making a stock gift?
Before initiating a stock donation, we recommend that you:
-
Confirm that the stock you want to donate is eligible through the platform
-
Review the steps required by your brokerage firm
-
Consult your tax or financial advisor if you have questions about tax treatment
-
Contact TCN if you need help understanding the process before you begin
Taking these steps ahead of time can help the donation process go more smoothly.
Refund Policy
All stock donations are nonrefundable.
Once a stock gift has been initiated or completed, Tacoma Cooperative Network is not able to reverse the transaction or provide a refund. Donors should carefully review all information before submitting a stock donation request.
No goods or services will be provided in exchange for stock donations unless otherwise stated.
