Cash
The easiest way to contribute to the Society's ongoing work is through an outright gift of cash.
Securities
Stock that has increased in value is one of the most popular assets used for charitable giving, once it has been held for a minimum of one year. Making a gift of securities to the Society offers you the chance to help our organization while realizing many important benefits for yourself.
You can donate shares of stocks or mutual funds to the National Geographic Society. To make an outright gift, call 800 373 1717 (U.S. and Canada only) or +1 202 862 8638, or visit National Geographic's
Ways to Give webpage.
To use securities in a planned giving arrangement, please contact your professional adviser and the Office of Gift Planning at 800 226 4438 or via email at
