Ways to Give to HSS
Cal State Fullerton is the catalyst for Titan-sized transformations, inspiring students’ paths, launching careers and improving lives. In addition to a current cash gift, there are many ways to express your support for Cal State Fullerton now or in the future:
- Matching gifts . Several employers provide a 1:1 or even a 2:1 match to your gift at no additional cost to you!
- Pledge a larger amount to be paid over time. This allows you to make a significant gift — and a significant impact — while spreading out payments over time (i.e. a commitment of $25,000 can be paid in 5 annual installments at $5,000 per year).
- Appreciated stocks, bonds and mutual funds (gifts of securities) are deductible at their average value on the date of the gift with no capital gains tax on the appreciation. If you have held your securities for more than one year, you may find that your gift will provide a twofold tax benefit— creating an income tax deduction and avoiding the capital gains tax that would have been due upon their sale.
- Crypto Currency
- Real Estate, including personal residences, second homes, income property and vacant land
- IRA rollover – This allows people aged 70 1/2 and older to reduce their taxable income by making a gift directly from their IRA
- Create a Charitable Gift Annuity , a Charitable Remainder UniTrust , or another charitable gift vehicle to help you maximize your philanthropic goals, provide you with steady income, and a charitable tax deduction.
- Allocate CSUF as a beneficiary of an insurance policy, investment or retirement account.
- Become a member of the Ontiveros Legacy Society by including CSUF in your estate plans, You can note a fixed dollar amount or a specific percentage of your estate to benefit any program or scholarship in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences or campus wide. ]
We realize that it is important to consider the best way to give — one that takes into account your own particular personal and financial circumstances.
