Stock - Certificates

Please notify Lutheran Hour Ministries' Gift Planning Department prior to making any gift of stock either by phone, toll-free in St. Louis at 1-877-333-1963, or via email at LHM-Gift@LHM.org.

When completing a gift with stock, please adhere to the following instructions.

A stock power must be signed in the presence of a person who is authorized to affix a Medallion Signature Guarantee stamp to the form. National banks and brokerage firms usually provide this service. Please note that a notary public is not sufficient for this document.

1. The stock power form should be left blank except for the signature(s) and signature guarantee. Do not fill in the blanks. Do not date the stock power form. Filling in additional information may result in a delay in the transfer process.
2. The signature(s) on the stock power form must match exactly the name(s) registered on the stock certificate(s). If the stock is registered in the name of a trust, a copy of the first and last pages of the trust agreement must be included with the stock power form.
3. A separate stock power is required for each certificate. Exception: If two or more certificates of the same company are registered in identical fashion, only one power is needed for those certificates.

Please do not send stock certificates and stock powers in the same carrier envelope. For your safety, we suggest certificates be sent via registered mail. Stock power forms should be sent separately via regular first-class mail. It is not necessary to send stock powers by registered mail.

These instructions apply to the transfer of physical stock certificates only.
