Gifts of Stock

A growing number of NHPTV supporters are making annual membership gifts by transferring appreciated securities. Giving stock is as easy as 1, 2, 3:

1. Once the donor decides which stock and the number of shares to transfer, the donor contacts his/her broker.
2. Any questions should be directed to Tammy Delahanty (1-888-593-7780 or directly at 603-334-4028). Indicate the transfer is to the University System of New Hampshire for the benefit of NHPTV. Your broker will need the following information: the DTC delivery number is 0141 and the account number is 8505-7106.
3. New Hampshire Public Television sells the stock gift and credits the donor with the earnings from the sale.

For your convenience, you may download a Stock Transfer Form (PDF file requires Adobe Acrobat) to complete and send to your broker.

If you have held appreciated stocks for at least one full year, you can avoid capital gains tax AND receive a tax deduction for the full market value.*

The full market value is determined by using the mean value on the date your broker transfers the shares, not the amount NHPTV receives from the sale.

If your stocks have a lower value than at the time of purchase, consider selling the stock yourself. You can claim the loss and make a cash gift to NHPTV.*

* We always recommend that you consult with your tax or financial advisor to make sure these guidelines apply to your situation but feel free to call at 1-800-639-8408 or 603-868-4397 for more information.
