Donating Stock & Other Securities

One advantageous way to contribute to the Homeless Animal Rescue Team is through a gift of appreciated stock. HART  maintains a “gift account” at Bath Savings Trust Company (“BSTC”) to accept gifts of stock. To make a stock** gift:

Step 1) Complete the Transfer

Please instruct your bank or broker to comply with the following instructions (your broker may also have other forms and instructions for you to complete).

PLEASE INSTRUCT YOUR BROKER TO INCLUDE THE DONOR NAME IN THE TRANSFER.
(When the donor’s name is added to the delivery instructions, it helps BSTC identify the gift and provide HART with information to help HART promptly acknowledge the gift.)
