How it works
Stock shares can be transferred electronically if you hold them with a brokerage service or you can donate paper shares if you hold them in certificate form. The University has a brokerage account with Wells Fargo Advisors, and you or your broker can obtain specific transfer instructions by calling 919-962-3967 or by email at [email protected].
Mutual fund shares may also be given to the University. Depending on the mutual fund company, the shares could be transferred into our Wells Fargo brokerage account or may need to be transferred to a University-owned account with the mutual fund company. To determine the best way to transfer these assets, please call 919-962-3967 or email us at [email protected] . Learn more about how it works.
