More About Giving
Overflow is a digital solution for giving non-cash assets, enabling you to give in the most tax-efficient way. It enables you to give stock or cryptocurrency in less than five minutes from any device, with access to a private donor portal to view giving history, transaction statuses, and the ability to update connected financial accounts.
Overflow’s Information Security Program follows the criteria set forth by the SOC 2 Framework, a widely respected information security auditing procedure. Overflow does not have access to nor store any brokerage account usernames or passwords. They use Yodlee, a secure third party provider, that handles the brokerage login process. Over 600 companies including PayPal, Mint, and Amazon use Yodlee to connect their clients’ accounts.

You can give any publicly-traded stock through Overflow.
Giving Appreciated Stock
Giving stock that you’ve held for over a year can save you up to 37% in federal income taxes based on the value of the charitable gift when itemizing deductions and protect your realized gains from being subjected to long-term capital gains tax, which can be up to 20%.
Consult with a tax professional to understand the full tax benefits of giving appreciated stock, including potential state tax savings.
Giving Company Stock Outside the Trading Window
If you received company-distributed stock as an employee and the trading window is not open, your brokerage will likely reject the transfer request. We suggest you ask your company for the trading windows and give during those time periods, which typically are open quarterly for three to four weeks at a time.
You can give through your bank’s online bill payment service. Your bank will send Echo.Church the payment, and we will add it to your giving record as if you had written a check yourself. Just indicate “Echo.Church” as your payee, specify your name as the account, and use the following information for the payee address:
Echo.Church
1172 Murphy Ave. Suite 130
San Jose, CA 95131
Allow 24 to 48 hours for your transaction to post to your giving record after we receive the check.
