HOW TO HANDLE GIFTS OF STOCK

PNC will need to know:

• The stock is a gift to be processed through the Roman Catholic Diocese of Lexington, Kentucky account
• The check for the net proceeds is issued to the Catholic Diocese of Lexington, Attention Bobbi Silver, Director of Development for the Diocese. 
• The name of the donor and the broker
• The name of the stock and the number of shares
• Who or what the donation is for (Example:  Annual Appeal, Cathedral of Christ the King, etc.)

NOTE:  After you have contacted PNC or when you know a donor is contacting PNC, please contact Bobbi Silver at the Catholic Center.  (859-253-1993 or [email protected])  Let her know to expect the stock, and any information you can that will help identify the gift upon receipt.  For example, the type of stock and number of shares and the location that should receive the gift.

A check will be issued from the Diocese to Christ the King the week after the proceeds check is received from PNC.  The Diocese will also forward the donor gift amount (the value of the stock on the date it was received) to Christ the King for the individual’s tax purposes.  Christ the King will provide donor acknowledgment.
