      It is important that you notify KCAI before making a gift of DTC-eligible securities. Without this notice, your gift may be transferred to KCAI without our knowledge of your identity. This makes it difficult to provide you with proper credit and timely acknowledgement for your gift. 

For more intricate gifts, please contact Chris Sumner, Vice President of Institutional Advancement at 816.802.3465 to help assist in the execution of your intentions.
