Taxes and Charitable Giving

In general, gifts to the University qualify for use as charitable gift deductions from personal income. But each case may offer unique features. Gifts of securities and real property have a special tax incentive: the donor may avoid capital gains taxes, while receiving a tax reduction for the full market value of the securities. Personal property gifts (art, jewelry, etc.) may also avoid capital gains taxes, but personal property gifts have some unique tax features. Donors should consult with their own tax advisors before making any gift with tax saving in mind.
