Q: Can I donate stock to Ashoka?
A: Yes! If you are considering a gift of stock to Ashoka, your broker will require this information to complete the transfer:

The transfer slip we receive does not always provide donor identification information, making it difficult to issue the proper receipt. Proper notification will ensure prompt processing of your donation.
