Methods of Endowment Fund Contributing
| Gifts of Cash | Gifts of cash are the simplest and most direct means of supporting the Endowment fund. Cash gifts are not subject to market fluctuations, require no appraisal and can be accomplished quickly and easily |
| Gifts of Security |
Securities are a popular method of gift giving to the Endowment Fund. Securities that have appreciated in value and may be subject to capital gains taxes make valuable gifts due to the tax-exempt status of the Endowment fund |
| Gifts of Real Estate | Real estate in the form of land, farms, commercial property, vacation property or residential property, make excellent gifts. You may wish to give real estate that has increased in value since you acquired it an that would produce capital gain if you were to sell it. You may give your residence and continue to live there for as long as you need the property. Property may also be given in such a way as to return regular income to you as long as you need it. |
| Life Insurance | Many donors find that life insurance enables them to make a substantial gift to the Endowment fund. Perhaps you have a policy that is no longer needed for its original purpose or you would like to give a small annual gift in the form of premium payments. |
| Wills | A will allows your property and assets to be distributed to those you select |
| Charitable Trusts | You can establish several types of trust gifts for the benefit of the Endowment fund. A trust is useful when you want to make a substantial gift and yet retain income. |
