When you donate with stocks to the Danish Refugee Council, your donation saves lives.
With your contribution we can distribute emergency aid when disaster strikes and people are forced to flee. A quick and effective response means everything for people on the run.
A stock ticker symbol is the short code (1–5 letters) used to identify a company’s shares.
Here are the easiest ways to find it:
Search online: Type the company name + “stock symbol”.
Finance sites: Look up the company on Yahoo Finance, Google Finance, or Bloomberg.
Your broker: Use the search function in Nordnet, Saxo Bank, Fidelity, Schwab, etc.
Company website: Check the Investor Relations section.
Tip: Some companies have multiple share classes (e.g., BRK.A and BRK.B), so make sure you choose the correct one.
Donating stocks is a powerful way to help refugees while making your giving go further. When you give appreciated shares instead of cash, you may avoid capital gains tax and potentially increase the size of your donation – at no extra cost to you. That means more urgent support for families forced to flee war, drought and conflict.
Your stock donation helps us provide lifesaving assistance to refugees from crises like the war in Ukraine, the conflict in Sudan and drought in Africa. You help ensure access to food, clean water, shelter, education and protection for children and families on the move.
By donating stock today, you join a global community saying: Help refugees now – with smart, impactful giving.
Thank you for your donation!
