Gifts of SecuritiesA gift of appreciated securities that has been held more than one year offers two benefits to the donor: income tax deduction for their fair market value and avoidance of capital gains tax on appreciation in value.
Matching GiftsYour employer may have a matching gift program. When an employee makes a charitable contribution, the company will match the charitable donation and forward the check to Chowan University directly.
MemorialsA memorial honors and preserves the memory of a loved one through your contribution to Chowan University. Memorials often originate in wills, but they can be made at any time.
Think of all the special days - Thanksgiving, Mother's Day, Father's Day, religious holidays, anniversaries, weddings, graduations, birthdays and more - that are worthy of your memorial gift.
A parent, a child, a close friend or a mentor are among the special people that can be recognized in this manner. And if you or your spouse work for a company that matches gifts, you may be able to double the impact of your memorial donation. If the gift is used to establish an endowment, the interest will be generated indefinitely to honor your family name or the name of the person you are recognizing.
BequestsBequests are gifts made through a will or living trust to provide support for your favorite charitable organization(s), such as Chowan University. You can leave a specific asset, a percentage of your estate or the remainder of your estate after you have taken care of other beneficiaries. You may leave your bequest unrestricted or designate it for a specific use. Any bequest provision can be modified in your will or living trust during your lifetime to change the legacy you will be creating.
Let's assume you have decided to make a bequest and have chosen Chowan University to be your beneficiary. There are several bequest options to consider.
Specific bequest - you give a specific dollar or a specific asset from your estate, such as stocks, bonds, real estate, antiques, art, mutual fund shares, etc.
Residuary bequest - this bequest directs that either all or a percentage of your estate's residue - what is left after the other terms of your will have been satisfied - be paid to Chowan University.
Contingent bequest - this option designates that Chowan University receives all or some of your estate dependent upon a specific condition. For example, you might state that Chowan University will receive the residue of your estate only if a particular loved one (e.g., your spouse) doesn't survive you.
Restricted bequest - you may wish to restrict your bequest for a specific purpose or to support a specific program.
Bequests provide you with a number of avenues for creating a legacy that defines your personality and commemorate your life.
