More Ways to Make a Gift.

Stock Gifts

Gifts of appreciated property have been considered the “best value” in charitable giving. There are multiple benefits to making a gift of this type. In addition to a charitable contribution tax deduction, you may be able to avoid paying capital gains tax on the increase in the value of the assets.

Stock Gifts

Make a gift of stock/securities by using an electronic stock transfer.

Stock Transfer Form

Qualified Charitable Distributions

Traditional IRA-holders who are 70.5 year of age or older may transfer money from their IRA to make charitable donations.

Estate Planning

You’ve worked hard for what you have, so you care about your legacy. Gift planning integrates your charitable gift into your overall financial, tax, and estate planning to maximize benefits both to you and to University of Wisconsin–Stout.

Make an Honorary Gift

You may wish to donate a gift in honor of a loved one, a retiring colleague, or a former mentor. These gifts can be directed to any area of the university you wish. This is a wonderful way to recognize the importance someone has had on your life by making an impact on the life of a student.

Corporate Matching

Many employers will match donations made to the UW-Stout Foundation by their employees. These matching funds could double or triple the impact of your original gift. Gifts of cash, and in some cases, securities are eligible for matching. When a gift is matched, the matched amount goes toward the same program that your initial donation supported. 

Supporting the next generation of Stout students through my estate plan brings me great joy!
