Wire Transfers & Stock Transfers

Please contact us for wire transfer or stock (DTC) transfers.  

If you would like to make a gift of stock to the Dearborn Rotary Foundation, we would be happy to provide stock transfer instructions to you. It is a very easy process. You can ask your broker to initiate a “broker to broker” transfer. You would instruct your broker to donate the stock directly to the Dearborn Rotary Foundation.

We will provide you with the name of our brokerage firm, the brokerage firm’s DTC number, the account name and number, and the telephone number and name of our broker contact at the firm.

Your broker can then transfer the securities directly to our account. It is important that the securities are transferred directly to the Dearborn Rotary Foundation’s account prior to being sold in order to avoid capital gains taxation.

Ways to Give Without Money

Social Media – When you see a post on social media about the Dearborn Rotary, please give it a like and share so other people know what we are doing in the community. It’s one of the easiest ways to support the organizations you love.  

Birthday Donations – Websites like Facebook let you set up birthday fundraisers for your birthday.  The Dearborn Rotary Foundation is one of the qualified charities that you can use for birthday fundraisers. 

Donate Supplies – We are always supporting those in need in our community.  For example, we are often making homeless care kits, cleaning baskets or new baby baskets for families in need.  If you have gently used items, let us know and we’ll connect you with the organizations we work with to make sure they find a good home.  

Volunteer Your Time – We are always looking for extra hands when we are cleaning Telegraph, making care packages, planting trees, reading to kids and many other events.  Please check our calendar or our Facebook page for current volunteer opportunities.  

Legacy Planning – Consider leaving a charitable bequest in your will or trust.  You can also name the Dearborn Rotary Foundation as a beneficiary on your retirement account.  Please contact us if you would like more information about charitable bequests.
