In the email, include your name, the stocks you plan to give and how you’d like the College to use your gift-Knox Fund, etc. As brokerage houses often do not include donor names with the information sent to Knox, this will help us identify and thank you for your gift more easily.
Stock gifts transferred to a brokerage house are credited the day received.
