Ways To Give

Your gift can take a variety of forms, including cash, pledges, appreciated securities such as stocks or bonds, real estate or other properties or planned gifts. It can be restricted or unrestricted. Restricted gifts are used only as you specify. Unrestricted gifts are used where the need is the greatest at the University.

Cash
Your gift can be awarded immediately for a University need or set aside as an endowment. It is tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law.

Pledges
Pledges to support UMDNJ may be paid over a period of up to five years. The amount contributed in each given year is tax deductible for that year.

Appreciated Securities
Gifts such as stocks or bonds may provide an extra tax benefit. In addition to receiving an income tax deduction for the fair market value of the security, you also avoid capital-gains tax that would have resulted from a sale.

Residences
A gift of a remainder interest in a personal residence can be an advantageous way for you to make a sizable gift to UMDNJ. This type of gift creates a current tax deduction and helps you to avoid capital-gains tax while allowing you to retain lifetime occupancy.

Other Property
A gift of tangible property for a use that is related to the educational purposes of UMDNJ may give rise to immediate tax benefits and may reduce estate tax liability as well. All gifts-in-kind are credited to UMDNJ at the appraised value.

Life Income
These gifts (through charitable gift annuities and charitable remainder trusts) provide an income to a donor during his or her lifetime.

Deferred gifts
You may also choose to remember the Foundation by providing for us in your estate plan with a bequest or by naming the Foundation the beneficiary of your retirement plan or insurance policy.
