CURRENT GIFTS

Current gifts are contributions that can be put to use by the College immediately upon their receipt from the donor.

Cash Gifts
Gift of Securities
Gifts of Property
Matching Gifts

Cash Gifts - A gift of cash is the most commonly used means of giving to the College. Most cash gifts are made through the College's Annual Giving Funds.

Gifts of Securities - Gifts of common stocks, bonds, mutual funds, or other appreciated securities may be made to the College. Depending on the circumstances, the securities will either be managed or liquidated to achieve the donor's goals. A popular benefit of such a gift beyond the charitable income tax deduction is that, in most cases, capital gains tax on the appreciation of the securities can be avoided.

Gifts of Property - Gifts of real estate and many other properties of value may be given to the College as well. These gifts can often receive the same tax treatment as gifts of securities: no capital gains tax plus deductibility at fair market value.

Matching Gifts - Many companies match the gifts their employees make to the College. If your employer has a matching gift program, your own gift to a specific area of support may be doubled or even tripled. If your company has a matching gift program, the Human Resources Department at your company will be able to provide you with additional details and a matching gift form.

Gifts intended for use by the College may be made to the University of Illinois Foundation and designated by the donor for the College of Business, a particular department within the College, or a fund established for a particular purpose within the College.
