For questions or concerns, please call 410-778-7801.
If you would like to make a gift of stock, wire transfer, or ACH, contact Marc Dykeman at 410-810-5059 or mdykeman2FREEwashcoll for simple instructions. Donating appreciated stock can offer the benefit of decreasing the burden of capital gains taxes.
Important to note:
- A gift transaction is complete only when the stock is received in Washington College's account — not when you give your broker instructions to make the gift. You'll want to make sure the transfer is completed by your intended deadline.
- For your protection, if you decide to mail physical stock certificates, please call our office for further instructions.
If you have a donor-advised fund, consider recommending Washington College for your next distribution! For information about setting up a fund and the tax advantages it could provide, contact your financial advisor.
