Stanford Live accepts donations of securities, which may, in some cases, offer tax advantages. You can download a copy of our securities transfer form (PDF). Please contact your broker or trade agent to authorize, initiate and complete all special requirements for the transfer of securities.
Please note: If you would like to give a restricted stock, a foreign or private equity, a mutual fund, or a bond, please contact Victoria Von Schell at the Stanford Management Company directly, as they require special handling. Victoria can be reached at 650.926.0244, or e-mail stockgifts@smc.stanford.edu.
Many companies match employee gifts up to a certain limit per year. To find out if your company is among those participating in a gift-matching program, consult the online database of matching companies (also found within our online donation form.) You can also ask your human resources department for information about your company's gift-matching policy.
Stanford Live accepts recurring credit card gifts. Recurring credit card gifts can enable you to make a more significant gift than you might otherwise be able to afford at one time. You can set up your recurring gift using the online giving application by selecting ”Recurring Gift“ in the ”Type of Gift“ drop-down menu on the first page of the giving form. Or you can download the donation form, complete and mail to Stanford Live at: 365 Lausen Street, Littlefield MC 2250, Stanford, CA 94305-2250
Leave a performing arts legacy for generations to come. Through planned giving, you can make the most of your estate in ways that will benefit you, your loved ones, and Stanford Live.

In keeping with IRS regulations, the fair-market value of certain membership benefits and privileges may reduce the tax-deductibility of your gifts. Annual gifts totaling $5,000 or less are fully tax-deductible. For more information about the tax deductibility of your gift please contact the Stanford Live Development Office at 650.736.1251.
