Many stocks exist in what is called book entry form, i.e., no physical certificate exists. In that case the donor's broker can send the stock to the university electronically. The instructions vary depending on whether the gift is to be endowed or not. The manager of Treasury Operations can provide instructions. If physical securities are donated they must be in the university's name or a stock power must be included. See SAM 03.F.01 Gift Acceptance Policies.
