Ways to Give to LHU

 
Gifts of Cash The easiest way to give, cash gifts offer a tax deduction for the full amount of the gift in the year it is made. Pledges may be paid over a period of three to five years.
Publicly Traded Stocks or Securities

Much like cash, gifts of stock are tax deductible at full fair market value if held for a year and a day. The donor is not taxed on long-term capital appreciation.

Matching Gifts Many companies will match your gift to LHU (some may even double or triple your gift). For a complete list of matching gift companies, see Matching Gifts.
Gifts of Other Types of Property Real Estate - An appraisal establishes the fair market value and, in turn, the amount of tax deduction. Real estate gifts avoid capital gains tax. A donor may also sell a parcel to LHU for less than fair market value and claim the difference as a charitable gift.

Personal Property - Assets related to LHU's academic mission (books, art works, scientific or historical collections, etc.) generate tax deductions equal to the fair market value of the gift. Gifts of property unrelated to the university's purpose are deductible on the basis of their cost to the donor.

Non publicly traded securities - Private equity, closely held, S-Corp, and other non-publicly traded securities may be appro-priate gifts for LHU, either as immediate gifts or pledged for future contribution. Proposed contributions of such assets must be reviewed and accepted by the University and/or Foundation Board of Directors.

Planned Gifts There are also ways to structure your gifts to meet specific financial and estate planning goals. Some plans even pay income back to you or someone you care about. These gift plans include:
