Your Memory or Tribute donation provides vital support for our programs and services while recognizing someone important in your life. We will acknowledge your gift with a personalized card sent to the individual or family you wish to honor, ensuring that your tribute makes a lasting impact on both our mission and those you care about.
Gifts of Stock
Appreciated securities are perhaps the most cost-effective assets to use in making a gift. When you transfer ownership of long-term holdings to ESNKY you receive a charitable deduction for their full market value — and you incur no capital gains tax (subject to IRS deduction limits).
Because electronic transfers are made without identifying the donor, please alert us in advance about the stock and number of shares you plan to give. That way we can send you a tax receipt for your donation. You can do so by emailing ESNKY Office Manager Ruslyn Case-Compton: ruslyn.case-compton@esnky.net.
According to IRS regulations, the date of your gift corresponds to the date it arrives in our possession (for transfers from brokerage account to brokerage account).
This is the information necessary to transfer stock to our account:
The ESNKY holding account is with The Albach, Wells & Dauer Group at Morgan Stanley
Their phone number is 513-762-5360
The Name of the Account is Emergency Shelter of NKY, Inc
Our account number is 285-013801-020
