Thank you for supporting Wesley. Your gift of stock makes a tremendous difference in our ability to prepare the future leaders of the church.
There are two ways to gift shares of stock to Wesley. Below are the instructions for transferring the stocks to Wesley's account, which is administered by Mason Securities, Inc. If you have any questions, please contact Laura Shoemaker, Wesley's development director, at (202) 885-8635 or lshoemaker@wesleyseminary.edu.
A. From Another Brokerage Account
- To make a gift from your brokerage account to our brokerage account, please send Stock Gift Letter A to your broker. Your broker will then send the requested shares to the Wesley Theological Seminary account to Mason Securities via DTC (which is the technical term for electronically transferring shares of stock). Please advise us of the gift so that we may accept the shares.
- This is for gifts of stock only, excluding mutual funds.
B. With Stock Certificates in Your Possession
- To make a gift using stock certificates in your possession, please print the Stock Gift Letter B and the Stock/Bond Power.
- Follow the stock gift delivery instructions in transferring your stock certificates. These instructions will ensure trouble-free transferring.
- Complete the Stock/Bond Power according to the stock gift delivery instructions.
- Complete the Stock Gift Letter B and attach with the Stock/Bond Power to your shares of stock. This letter must be Signature Guaranteed, a service provided by your local bank.
NOTE: you do not need to complete the back of the stock certificate, but that you should use one stock/bond power per certificate and ship using certified or overnight delivery. Also, be sure to include Wesley's account number (4JK-017973) at Mason Securities on the face of each stock certificate.
- Please provide Wesley with a copy of both Stock Gift Letter B and the fronts and backs of all stock certificates so we may accept the shares. You can mail a copy to: Attention Development Department, Wesley Theological Seminary, 4500 Massachusetts Ave., NW, Washington, DC 20016. You can fax copies to us at (202) 885-8639.
