Ways to give to Eureka
A Guide To Giving
Gifts to Eureka College are an investment in the future of the men and women who study here. Thousands of individuals have generously invested in the future of Eureka and the advancement of our legacy. Here are some ways you can make your gift to Eureka College.
Gift Opportunities |
|
CHECKS AND CREDIT CARDS
Checks are the most common form of gifts. Visa, Mastercard, and Discover cards may also be used to make gifts to the College. If you wish to make a gift by credit card, you can make your gift online right now.
MATCHING GIFTS
If you or your spouse work for a company that matches gifts to colleges and universities, your gift to Eureka can be doubled or tripled. Many subsidiaries of parent companies also are eligible. Retired employees often qualify as well. Simply obtain a matching gift form from your personnel office, follow the instructions for initiating the match and send the completed form with your gift.
GIFTS-IN-KIND
The "Gift in Kind" donation is the contribution of goods or services that would otherwise cost the College money. The donor receives credit for the fair market value of the gift. Receiving this type of contribution allows the College to replace the cost of the service with the cash and rechannel that money. In kind gifts must be approved by the College before transfer.
Return to Gift Opportunities
APPRECIATED STOCKS/ SECURITIES
Appreciated stocks and securities make excellent gifts. When such assets have appreciated significantly the capital gain tax is avoided by gifting. The current value is the tax deductible value of the gift.
How is the value of the gift determined?
The average of the high and low for the asset on the day it is transferred determines the value of the gift.
When is the gift effective?
Security gifts are effective on the day a stock certificate is delivered or mailed to the College or its agent, on the day it is transferred electronically to the College's account. Please contact the Development Office to clarify based on the manner in which you intend to transfer the asset.
