Ways of Giving
Alumni choose to give to the Smith School in many different ways
throughout their lifetimes.
Cash gifts
An easy, flexible and simple way to give is to send a personal check
or money order by mail, or use your credit card to make a gift online.
Appreciated securities
Gifts of stock are a convenient way to make a gift by using assets
other than cash. The transactions can be handled with you directly or
with your financial representative and have multiple benefits that vary
with each individual's portfolio.
Real or personal properties
Property is another attractive way to make a gift. When you make
gifts of property, certain value appraisals are required. These
transactions will be handled with you directly and in conjunction with
your legal representative.
Bequests
Gifts made through your estate plan can help you realize your
philanthropic goals, and may allow you to make a more significant gift
than is possible during your lifetime.
Life insurance
If you are carrying more insurance coverage than your family
obligations now require, you may find a hidden gift asset in a surplus,
paid-up policy.
Charitable remainder trusts
Earn money on your contribution by transferring money, securities or
other assets to a trust that will then pay you an income for life or a
period of years. The trust will be designed by you to fit your own needs
in conjunction with your financial advisor or legal representative.
