Ways to Give

Cash Donations

Gifts of cash (which include donations made via check, credit card and payroll deduction) are often the simplest to make. Thomas University will provide a gift receipt via mail, when a mailing address is provided.

Stock Donations

Publicly traded stock and other securities that are held for more than one year may have accumulated long-term capital gains and could make one of the best charitable gifts.  Why? Because you may be able to deduct the current fair market value and avoid capital gains tax that you may be required to pay if you were to sell the property outright.

However, you may not want to donate stock that is worth less than your basis.  Instead, you could sell the stock outright so that you might be able to deduct the loss and then donate the cash proceeds to Thomas University.

Gifts in Kind

Donors may make a donation such as a vehicle, collectibles or services as an in-kind contribution that may be beneficial to the University.  Please contact the advancement office at 229.227.6903 or advancement@thomasu.edu regarding this gift opportunity.
