We encourage donors to transfer gifts of publicly-traded securities to one of the UC Berkeley Foundation’s brokerage accounts by completing and submitting one of the transfer forms below.

Our primary and preferred brokerage account is with Morgan Stanley, and is appropriate for most gifts of securities. Also, all transfers of mutual funds must be sent to our Morgan Stanley account. If you intend on transferring mutual funds, please always contact the UC Berkeley Foundation’s office of Gift Processing at 510.642.6791 immediately as certain steps must be taken before the transfer is initiated.

Wire transfers are most commonly used for gifts made from outside the United States. Please alert the Museum that a wire transfer has been made. Automated Clearing House (ACH) transfers, on the other hand, can be sent only from domestic banks, and a unique routing number must be used for ACH transfers: 121000358. ACH transfers will not work from international banks.
