If you itemize your tax returns, securities gifts may allow you to have a federal income tax charitable deduction. Gifts of appreciated securities may provide additional tax benefits. To see if this is the best option for you, please discuss your tax situation with an attorney or accountant.

Gifts of stock may be wire transferred to the Metropolitan Family Services account at Northern Trust Securities, Inc. Contact Robert Falato, our financial representative at 312-557-2632. Metropolitan Family Services' DTC Number is 0226. Our Account Number is NT2057045.

When transferring by wire, please ask your broker to include your last name – or its first few letters – as an identifying "marker" on the transfer. This will help us identify your gift and acknowledge it promptly.  If you have questions about gifts of stock or other appreciated property, please contact Dennis Conroy, Senior Vice President of External Affairs at 312-986-4123 or conroyd@metrofamily.org.
