Instructions

Step 1: Log into Daffy and complete this stock intent form.

⏳ Creating an intent helps us avoid delays in attributing a contribution to your Daffy account as soon as we receive it.

Step 2: Initiate your contribution from your Schwab account by submitting one of the editable, pre-filled paper forms based on your contribution's liquidation type:

When you contribute stock to your Daffy fund, you can recommend how those shares are liquidated, immediately or on a custom schedule. Learn more here.

Here’s the information you’ll need if you aren’t using one of the pre-filled forms above:

Receiving Institution Account Number for immediate liquidation: 9SC05050 (Note: This account number has three zeros)
-OR-
​​Receiving Institution Account Number for custom liquidation: 9SC05015

Account Title: Daffy Charitable Fund

Contact Name at Charitable Organization: Alex Gyr

Telephone Number: support@daffy.org. If a number is required, please use the Receiving Institution's (Apex) number: 214-765-1345

Name of Receiving Institution: Apex Clearing

DTC Number: 0158

Please do not check the box to make the gift anonymous.

We need your name so we can attribute the contribution to your Daffy account.

Step 3: Print and sign the form, then upload it to your Schwab Message Center to submit it for review.

What Happens Next

✅ As long as you created an intent that matches your contribution (Step 1), Daffy will notify you when we receive your shares from Schwab.

🚨 The time it takes for your shares to reach Daffy is entirely dependent on the Schwab. Contact Schwab directly for specific timing.

Note about Cost Basis

If you would like to send particular lots of a security, it is important that you enter the correct cost basis on the form. Generally, it cannot be changed after the fact. Please record the cost basis of an asset you are donating before transferring the asset to charity as most brokerages do not keep a record of the cost basis once the asset has left your account and you may need the information to fill out tax forms at the end of the year. Daffy does not have access to cost basis information for contributions so we will not be able to provide this information at a future date.
