Accepting stocks
This guide will show you how a nonprofit can accept publicly traded stocks.
Make sure the organization has the stock capability before trying to accept a stock donation.
How does it work?
The donor pledges what stocks they want to donate and provides basic information (name, email, broker name)
We send the donor an email with instructions to send to their broker
We receive the stocks from the donor's broker. Depending on the broker, this can take several days
On receipt, the stocks are sold at market price
We automatically send the funds to the organization's linked bank account and issue a receipt to the donor.
Initiating a pledge
To initiate a pledge, utilize the Infinite Giving API.
Donor support
If donors need assistance processing their donation, they can reach out to support@infinitegiving.com for help.
Timelines
Stock donations processing speed depends entirely on the donor's broker. Once the broker has initiated the transfer, the process can take 2-5 business days. Some brokers have processes that can take weeks before they initiate the transfer.
