Following these steps will help you quickly and easily donate your Gift of Stock to the St. Thomas Elgin General Hospital Foundation.

Obtain a "Letter of Authorization from Donor to Broker" form, available from the Foundation by calling 519-631-2030, x2727, or by e-mail to: jbeaton@stegh.on.ca.　 This form is your instruction to your broker to transfer securities to the Foundation.

Securities Transfer Form

1. Complete all sections of the transfer form, especially the CUSIP # (which is provided by your broker/investment advisor) and acts like a transaction number in case the transfer needs to be tracked by your broker.　 For privacy reasons, your broker can not disclose your name to us, so please complete the Donor/Client Information, including your daytime phone number.

2. Fax or send the completed transfer form to your broker or investment advisor who will initiate, and be responsible for, the transfer.　 Sending the form by mail will delay the start of the transfer process, and may affect the ultimate receipt value.　 Please call the Foundation by phoning 519-631-2030, x2727 if you are sending the transfer form by mail

3. Please Notify the Foundation by returning a copy of the completed transfer form to us.　 This step is important because securities are transferred into our account on an anonymous basis.　 Notifying us will ensure you receive our thanks, any appropriate recognition, and your official receipt for income tax purposes.　 Transfer forms can be faxed to Joanne Beaton at FAX: (519)631-8372, or sent by mail to:
