Philanthropy is a choice and donors deserve the privilege of having more than one way to give. Gifts may be made in a variety of ways, including:

• Outright gifts of cash
• Securities
• Real estate
• Personal property
• Deferred gifts of annuities, bequests and trusts

Gifts of Appreciated Securities
Regardless of a donor's preferred giving interest or style, it is always advantageous to make gifts to charities from appreciated assets. Donors who give stocks, for example, may deduct the fair market value of the gift and avoid the capital gains taxes, within certain limits. At
St. Edward's, this giving technique can be utilized at any level. Download the Donating Gifts of Stock PDF.

Planned Gifts
Planning for future gifts is a choice many donors make. There are several options available for donors who wish to use estate planning to serve their philanthropic interests and gain a larger measure of control over their estate. Bequests, life insurance policies and retained income gifts are some of the methods used by donors and the university to meet these special needs.
