Give Stock

Since 1854, Mechanics' Institute has relied on the generosity of members and friends like you to preserve our historic library, sustain our chess programs, and keep our cultural offerings thriving for generations to come. Your gift of stock helps ensure that this San Francisco landmark remains a vibrant home for ideas, community, and connection.

Donating appreciated securities is a simple, tax-savvy way to support Mechanics' Institute. By transferring stock directly rather than selling it first, you may be able to avoid capital gains tax and receive a charitable deduction for the full market value of your gift.
