Ways to Give
You have many tools for supporting the Matching the Promise campaign. A few of them are listed here. Use them alone, or in any combination, to accomplish your charitable goals.
Cash: Make your full gift all at one time or as a pledge payable over five years. Cash gifts are accepted online or by check made out to IU Foundation.
Securities: Highly appreciated stocks are a common gift vehicle because the tax deductions offset capital gains. Gifts of securities will be recorded at fair market value on the date of transfer.
Charitable Gift Annuities: CGAs provide a guaranteed income stream for life, in exchange for your irrevocable gift. Rates for CGA payouts are determined by the donor's age and are subject to change. IU Foundation CGAs are not available in all states.
Bequests: Your gift to the Matching the Promise campaign can be made through your will or estate plan. It is important that you let us know of your intentions, not only so we may honor your gift to the campaign, but also so we clearly understand your wishes. We want to make sure your gift will be used exactly as you intend. Please contact our Office of Gift Planning toll free, 800-558-8311.
Your IU Foundation development officer will be happy to discuss these options with you further.
Please note: As with any financial decision, consult first with your accountant, attorney, or estate advisor.
