By Hand

1. Bring your unendorsed stock certificate(s) to The Columbus Foundation. Sign a stock power (one power for each certificate; complete the signature block only.) You will receive a receipt acknowledging your gift and its purpose. The “date of gift” is the date you deliver the securities.

By Mail

1. Send your unendorsed stock certificate(s) by registered mail to The Columbus Foundation.

2. In a separate envelope, by regular mail, send to the same address:
    A.     A signed stock power (one power for each certificate; complete the signature block only). Stock              powers are available from your broker, your bank, or The Columbus Foundation.
    B.     A brief note identifying yourself (name, address, phone number) and the number of shares, the              name(s) of the stock(s) and the purpose for which you are directing your gift.

3. Mail both envelopes on the same day. The “date of gift” is determined by the later postmark.
