The link below will take you to our Stock Transfer Transmittal form. You can fill it out yourself or send it to your broker to execute your wishes. Please note that gifts of stock, especially at the end of the calendar year, are a popular vehicle for giving, and paperwork may be delayed at either end of the transaction by sheer volume.  To ensure your gift will be completed for the year 2024, you should plan to make it five working days before December 31.

Another popular and relatively easy way to give is through your Individual Retirement Account (IRA).

Here is how it works:

• You must be at least 70.5 years old
• This can be counted towards your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD)
• Only a gift from a qualified 401k or Roth IRA is eligible
• A qualified charitable contribution (QCD) from your IRA can be up to $105,000 for 2024. In 2025, the maximum total will increase to $108,000.
• You will not receive a charitable deduction on your gift, but the gift is totally free from any tax liability on your part.
• To be considered a QCD, your gift must be issued directly from your plan administrator to Teachers College. However, some financial institutions offer IRA checkbooks, which can also be used to make a QCD.
• Checks from your IRA must be issued by your plan administrator by December 31st to count towards your RMD and tax year 2024. However, if you are sending a check from an IRA checkbook, your check must be deposited by December 31st. Therefore, we recommend that you mail any checks from an IRA checkbook no later than Friday, December 13th.
• TC's EIN (which you may need to provide to your plan administrator) is: 13-1624202

NOTE: please let us know of your IRA gift by emailing us at institutionaladvancement@tc.columbia.edu, as many plan administrators do not include donor names on the check.
