stock donation
How it works
simple & Efficient
For stocks held in brokerage accounts, your broker can assist you in making a gift of stock via direct transfer to UPLC. UPLC will sell the appreciated securities and utilize the funds for essential conservation work. Giving a gift of publicly traded stock that has increased in value and that you have owned for more than one year may provide better benefits than giving cash. UP Land Conservancy will sell the appreciated securities and It is a simple and efficient way to support UPLC's mission and protect land in the Upper Peninsula forever.
