However, gifts of these assets will not be taxed if they are paid directly to a charity as beneficiary. Consult with a professional advisor to determine how your retirement asset distributions will be affected by naming Boston Partners in Education as a beneficiary. For more information, contact Sara Gill.

Consult with a professional advisor first, then, when you’re ready to make your gift, you can donate stock directly through our secure page on DonateStock, or complete BPIE’s Gift of Appreciated Securities form and contact Sara Gill with any further questions.
