Gifts of Appreciated Securities

These provide considerable tax advantages when transferred to USF before they are sold. If you have held your securities for more than one year, you may find that your gift will provide a two-fold tax benefit, creating an income-tax deduction as well as helping avoid the capital gains tax that would have been due on their sale. Contact the Development office for specific transfer instructions.

Gifts of Real Estate

Including personal residences, second homes, income property, and vacant land - offer a wide variety of tax and other benefits. Whereas most people give their entire interest away, it is also possible to give only a portion of the property (an undivided percentage interest) while retaining the rest for other purposes.

Gifts of Personal Property

Including rare books, works of art, valuable collectibles, and tangible items of demonstrable value may in some cases enable you to make a significant gift to support USF with outstanding tax benefits to you. Likewise, gifts of intangible personal property, such as copyrights, patents, and mineral rights, can generate income for the program of your choice on a continuing basis. The Office of Gift Planning will be happy to work with you on the specifics of the gift.

Matching Gifts

An easy way to double or even triple your donation to USF is to find out if your company has a matching-gift program. Such programs typically match all or a percentage of employee contributions to charitable organizations, making the employer a partner in employees' personal philanthropy. Simply obtain a matching-gift form from your employer's personnel office, fill it out, and provide it to USF with your contribution.
