"You may delay, but time will not."
– Benjamin Franklin
Capital gifts are usually given out of assets (savings, withdrawals from retirement accounts, gifts of stock or other long-term holdings), while annual gifts typically come from annual earned income.
Most gifts are made as multi-year pledges (often three years).
Here are several suggested ways to make donations to the Capital Campaign:
- Stock gifts – making gifts of appreciated securities can save significantly on capital gains taxes; this can mean that the donor can make a larger gift.
- Automatic deductions from savings or investment accounts
- Annual payments over several years
- Automatic deductions from savings or investment accounts
- Other types of gifts, including irrevocable life income gifts, annuities, etc.
