Gifts can be made in a variety of forms including outright gifts of cash, securities, and real estate, or through planned giving options.

Gifts of Real Estate

If you own property that is fully paid off and has appreciated in value, you can deduct the fair market value of your gift, avoid all capital gains taxes and remove that asset from your taxable estate. Or you may be pleased to know that you can give a personal residence (including a vacation home) or a farm to the University and continue to occupy it just as you do now. More...

Gifts of Life Insurance

You can donate a life insurance policy to us or simply name us as the beneficiary. Such a gift may allow donors to provide for a larger contribution than they otherwise feel capable of making. More information on Gifts of Life Insurance.

Gifts of Retirement Plan Assets

Gifts of Cash
