Stock / Securities Donations

Donors wishing to make a donation of stock to OCSA can transfer the stock directly via your own broker. If you don't have a broker, as in the case of some of the online trading accounts, you can look for a "stock transfer form" on your accounts website.

You will need to provide OCSA’s account and DTC number to your broker, along with an "Authorization for Transfer of Gift Securities" form to start the transfer. However, if the stock gift is in the form of a stock certificate registered in your name, an "Authorization for Transfer of Gift Securities" form must be presented along with your stock certificate.

For additional information, or assistance with your stock transfer, please contact:

Parent Giving Program

Orange County School of the Arts is a donation-dependent public charter school. No student is offered or denied enrollment based upon financial capacity. However, each school year we must raise more than $10 million in private funds to underwrite the arts conservatory programs, and we rely on parents and the community-at-large to help us reach this goal.

The Parent Giving Program was created to provide parents with an opportunity to contribute an annual donation to their child’s arts education. All parent funding contributions are voluntary, and directly support the curriculum, classes, faculty wages, and operating costs for each arts conservatory. All cash donations to the school are tax deductible. Additional details on our Parent Giving Program are presented to parents at yearly meetings.
