Important Note When Making Gifts of Appreciated Assets

With the holidays approaching, please follow these steps to help ensure gifts made to your Dayton Foundation fund are processed in a timely manner.

Before making a gift of appreciated assets to your fund, be sure to check that your brokerage firm has an account with The Dayton Foundation. Once you have verified this, provide written instructions to both your broker and to us so we may identify the Foundation fund that is to be credited with the gift.
