Stock/Wire Transfers
Supporting Georgetown College has never been easier—or more flexible. In addition to cash

recognition. - Georgetown’s Business Office works promptly to sell donated stock to ensure it is
applied to the appropriate fiscal year. - Your donor credit is based on the value at the time of receipt, not the eventual selling
price.
