Types of Giving
You may make your gift to the Department in various forms, using well-recognized gift vehicles that address your circumstances. You may wish to speak with your financial advisor before you give in order to determine the most appropriate way to structure your gift to benefit yourself, your family, and the Department of Family Medicine.
GIFTS OF CASH
An outright gift of cash
is usually the simplest method
of giving. It is not subject to gift
or estate taxes and you can deduct
the gift to the full extent of
IRS rulings. | MATCHING GIFTS
Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match any charitable contributions made by their employees. To find out if your company has a matching gift policy, please follow this link:

GIFTS OF SECURITIES
You may deduct the full fair market value of
long-term appreciated securities and avoid any tax on capital gain. | OTHER ALTERNATIVES
These include, but are not limited to: real estate, personal property, corporate matching gifts and closely held stock. |
GIFTS BY BEQUEST
One of the easiest and most common ways for you to make a gift to the Department of Family Medicine is though a bequest in your will. Bequests work particularly well if you are unable to make an immediate outright gift or if you have concerns about your long-term planning, but believe in our programs and want to support the future of Family Medicine. | LIFE INCOME GIFTS
By transferring property to the
management of a trustee and establishing a life income arrangement from the principal of this property, you can make a substantial gift to the Department. Life income gifts can take several forms: charitable gift annuities, charitable trusts, pooled income funds. |
