Appreciated Stock & Securities
Securities and mutual funds that have increased in value and been held for more than one year are popular assets to use when making a gift to the University of North Dakota. A gift of this type offers you the chance to support the university while getting valuable benefits for yourself.
Donating appreciated securities or mutual funds to the University can allow you to reduce or even eliminate federal capital gains taxes on the transfer. You may also be entitled to a federal income tax charitable deduction based on the fair market value of the securities at the time of the transfer.
These assets are also a great choice for creating a charitable remainder trust, charitable gift annuities or a beneficiary designation gift.
Outright Gifts
When you donate securities to UND through the UND Foundation, you receive the same income tax savings that you would if you wrote a check, but with the added benefit of eliminating capital gains taxes on the transfer.
