Cash
The most direct way of giving is a gift of cash. Gifts of cash may also be pledged up to a five-year period.

Corporate Matching Gifts
Many companies encourage employees to be charitable by matching their gifts dollar-for-dollar, and sometimes as much as two or three dollars for every dollar given. Maximize your contribution by applying for a corporate match. Information on your company’s matching gift program is usually available through your company’s Human Resource Department.

Gifts of Securities and other Appreciated Assets
A gift of appreciated assets such as stock may provide significant tax benefits. Donating securities or a portion of an IRA or a 401K plan can be done outright or as part of your estate plan. Call the AADC for simple instructions on how to transfer stock or for information on giving other appreciated assets.

Bequests
Gifts through your will qualify your estate for a charitable deduction, which can reduce estate taxes and preserve more of your assets for family and other intended beneficiaries. If you have already planned a bequest to benefit Douglass students, please let us know so that we can thank you. Contact the AADC if you need information on how to make a gift through a bequest.

However, they are welcomed and important to the future of Douglass. Donors who plan bequests will be recognized in all Campaign Honor Roll listings.
