We convert. There isn't any IRS ruling mandating that non-profits do this,
but many are afriad of "taking the heat" for a stock's devaluation. If it is
a blue-chip or something that looks promising and will not jeopardise your
organization, you might want to hang on to it. I'd check with your fiscal
officer/advisor.

Subject: Gifts of Stock - Policy?


We were recently given a restricted endowment in the form of a solid
utility stock.  I'd like to keep it as stock.  Finance Committee wants it
converted.  Can anyone give me a case for keeping the stock and/or a
finance policy that includes stock as one form of asset?
