Gift Appreciated Stock Shares
Thank you for your interest in becoming part of the Center's valued community of supporters.
There are two methods commonly used to make a donation of stock — with or without the services of a broker.
We hope this information will be helpful, and please feel free to call for more information.
Stock held by a broker
Give your broker the following information to transfer a gift of stock to East Bay Center for the Performing Arts:
- Broker: Charles Schwab
- The Center's brokerage account is with Charles Schwab. The Center does not have a designated broker, but any Schwab agent at 800-435-4000 should be able to help with the transaction.
- Account number: 5013-7997
- DTC number: 0164.
- Address: Charles Schwab, PO Box 52114, Phoenix, AZ 85072-2114
Either you or your broker should contact Sara Rader, Director of Individual Giving (contact information below) with the name of the stock and the number of shares being transferred. This ensures the gift is properly credited and acknowledged.
Stock certificate held by you

Using registered mail, send the unendorsed securities to:
- Sara Rader, Director of Individual Giving, East Bay Center for the Performing Arts, 339 - 11th Street, Richmond, CA 94801-3105
In a separate envelope to the same address, send:
