Making a gift of appreciated stock or securities is a generous, tax-friendly and effective way to support Stevens. In most cases you can receive a tax deduction for the full market value of your gift and avoid capital gains taxes. 

 Gift of stock by electronic transfer 

If you are interested in making a gift electronically of stock or securities held by a bank or broker, please contact Zef Ferreira, senior director of operations and development services, at 201.216.5247 or [email protected].

 Gifts of paper stock certificates 

If you personally hold the stock certificates that will be gifted, you must complete both a one-page Stock Power Form and a one-page Donor Letter and send them in separate envelopes on the same date, with the unsigned stock certificates, to: 

ATTN: Zef Ferreira 
Senior Director of Operations and Development Services

Tips for giving paper stock gifts 

• Certified Mail is better than standard shipping because it creates a record of your mailing. 

• If stocks to be gifted are registered in more than one name, both registrants must sign the one-page Stock Power Form.  

• If you are gifting more than one type of stock certificate, you must complete a Stock Power Form for each type. 

• Stock Power Forms must be signature guaranteed, which you can obtain at most commercial banks. 

If you have any questions about making a stock gift to Stevens, please contact Zef Ferreira at 201.216.5247 or [email protected].  

To make your gift via wire transfer, please contact Zef Ferreira, senior director of operations and development services, at 201.216.5247 or [email protected] for routing information.

A pledge is a larger gift that alumni and friends make over time, typically in annual installments within five years. Pledged gifts are popular during reunion years and enable donors to expand their impact on a convenient schedule. To explore options for making a multi-year pledge, please contact Sarah Wells, director of impact giving, at [email protected]. 

Make an investment in Stevens by setting up a recurring gift that is convenient, customizable, and environmentally friendly. It’s an easy way to make a big impact that works for your budget and schedule. Make a recurring gift.

A tribute gift is a way to recognize an individual by dedicating it in their name. Whether in memory of someone who has passed, or to honor a milestone, tribute gifts are a wonderful way to support Stevens and memorialize someone in your life.

Make a tribute gift now or send a request to Allison Kolb, director of annual giving, to explore ways to honor an individual through tribute giving.

For Donors ages 70 ½ and older, Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) or “IRA Rollover” gifts are another option for supporting Stevens. Contact your plan administrator to issue a check payable to Stevens Institute of Technology and send it to: 

ATTN: Michael Governor 
Director of Planned Giving 
Stevens Institute of Technology 
Development and Alumni Engagement 
One Castle Point Terrace 
Hoboken, NJ 07030 

Tell your plan administrator the purpose of your gift and inform Stevens of the same. For more information, visit our Gift Planning page or contact Michael Governor, director of planned giving, at 201.216.8967 or [email protected]. 

Many companies offer matching gifts to their employees, doubling the value of their charitable contributions. Before you make a gift, please search for your company on our Matching Gifts Page – or check with your company’s human resources or benefits office – to see if your employer has a corporate matching gift program.

Stevens employees have the option of donating directly to their favorite areas on campus by making automated deductions from their paychecks. Simply fill out the Employee Payroll Deduction form. By making a gift as an employee, you will also become a member of the Castle Point Club, Stevens’ faculty and staff donor recognition society. 

 If you are not a Stevens employee, you are encouraged to contact your employer or the United Way to explore ways to contribute to Stevens through direct payroll deduction.
