You submit this transfer to Fidelity. Daffy does not send it for you. Creating a stock intent tells Daffy to expect your shares. It does not start the transfer.
Before you start
You will need:
Your Fidelity account number
The ticker and number of shares you're contributing
The cost basis of those shares (record it now because Fidelity may not keep that information after the transfer)
Your choice of immediate or custom liquidation (What happens to my shares after I transfer them to Daffy?)
How do I contribute stock from Fidelity?
Create a stock intent. Log into Daffy or the iOS app and go to Add Funds > Stocks, ETFs & Mutual Funds (open the stock intent form).
Download Daffy's pre-filled Fidelity form that matches your liquidation choice:
Custom liquidation form (Philanthropist membership feature)
Fill in only your Fidelity account details, the securities, number of shares, and lot details. Leave Daffy's receiving details as they are.
In For the Benefit of, add your Daffy fund name or account number next to Daffy Charitable Fund.
Print and sign the form. Fidelity may require a Medallion signature, depending on the size of your contribution.
Send the form to Fidelity using the instructions at the bottom of page 2.

What happens after I send the form?
When your shares arrive and match your stock intent, Daffy notifies you and attributes them to your fund. Transfer timing depends on Fidelity. If it's been more than 7 business days since Fidelity sent the shares and you don't see them in your Daffy fund, contact Fidelity's support team.
Cost basis
Record your cost basis before you transfer the shares. Daffy does not have access to cost basis information.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I choose which tax lots Fidelity sends?
Yes. Enter the specific lots and their cost basis on the Fidelity form before you submit it. Lot choices generally can't be changed after the transfer.
Do I need a Medallion signature?
Fidelity may require one, depending on the size of your contribution. Contact Fidelity to confirm before you submit the form.
What if Fidelity already sent the shares but didn't create an intent?
Create the intent now and contact support@daffy.org with the ticker, number of shares, and date sent so Daffy can match the transfer.
