How do I contribute stock from my E*TRADE account?

Written by Support

Start Contribution from Daffy

Step 1: In your Daffy account, go to Add Funds > Stocks, ETFs, & Mutual Funds > E*TRADE and enter the details of your stock contribution.

Step 2: Provide an electronic signature using the same signature that E*TRADE has on file for your account. If the signature does not match, E*TRADE may reject the transfer.

Step 3: Click or tap "Save Signature." Daffy will send the transfer request paperwork to E*TRADE on your behalf.

🛑 Daffy does not initiate this transfer. You do. We only help by completing and submitting E*TRADE's form on your behalf.

Once you submit your request, there are no additional steps you need to take to complete this transfer. We'll notify you when we receive your shares from E*TRADE and credit the liquidated amount to your Daffy account.

Start Contribution from E*TRADE

If you have a joint brokerage account at E*TRADE or would prefer to initiate the transfer directly from E*TRADE, please follow these instructions.

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.
