DRPs are offered by over 1300 companies and many allow Direct Stock Purchase (also called DSPs, DPPs, DPSs, SIPs or SPPs).

Dividend Reinvestment Plans are referred to by many names/acronyms (we use DRP). These plans all serve the same basic purpose; they allow you to purchase stock direct from the issuing company. DRP plan terms and conditions differ. Each company describes its plan in a "Prospectus." Shareholder status (normally one share) is required by most DRPs. Some plans allow you to make your initial stock purchase direct, no broker needed. But be cautious, "direct plan" fees are generally higher. Read the "Prospectus" before you invest in any stock.
