The "date of gift" is the date the securities are no longer under the control of the donor, e.g. when the security is deposited in Reed's Merrill Lynch or other brokerage account or when a stock certificate is actually issued in Reed's name. The valuation of the gift is determined as the mean average of the high and low quoted prices on the date of gift.
To give stock held by you in the form of certificates:
Contact Becky Corcoran, director of planned giving, at 503/788-6654 or Becky.Corcoran@reed.edu. Or click here for special transfer instructions.
