Ways to Give

There are several ways to make your gift to pg电子下载 State University. Below are just a few for your consideration.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

A donor’s cash gift should be made by check or money order drawn payable to the pg电子下载 State University Foundation, Incorporated and mailed to the pg电子下载 State University Foundation, Incorporated, 1000 ASU Drive #810, pg电子下载 State, Mississippi 39096-7500. You may give the Foundation up to 50 percent of your adjusted gross income and claim it as a deduction. Should your gift exceed half of your income, you may claim deductions, over a five-year period.

Beginning January 1, 2018, all gifts of $250.00 and below made to the pg电子下载 State University Foundation, Inc. will only receive an emailed Acknowledgement/Thank You letter. Gifts above $250.00 will continue to receive a letter through the U.S. Mail. Additionally, all donors are reminded and strongly encouraged to always include your email address along with your gift to ensure receipt of your acknowledgement letter. This policy change is being made in response to the rising costs of printing and postage. We appreciate your understanding and continued support.

The simplest form of bequest is a provision in a will making an outright gift of money or property to the pg电子下载 State University Foundation, Incorporated. Gifts through your will are not subject to Federal Estate Taxes and thus substantially reduce the tax liability of your estate. If you wish, you may restrict your gift to a particular department or program. Also, you may direct that the corpus be held in trust, with only the income being used.

The basic wording for your will which your attorney will need, is “I give, devise, and bequeath to the pg电子下载 State University Foundation, Incorporated, organized. chartered, and operated under the laws of the State of Mississippi, with offices at Room 517 Walter Washington Administration Building, pg电子下载 State University, pg电子下载 State, Mississippi, the sum of $_______________ (percentage of your estate, a specific amount, or the particular item of property you are giving).”

Gifts of stocks or bonds held for more than six months may be the easiest and most advantageous way to help the University. If the securities have gained in value, you can, by giving them outright, avoid paying capital gains tax and also claim a deduction for the fair market value (what you paid plus the appreciated value).

If securities have depreciated in value, it is usually best to sell and give the proceeds, since you can then take a tax loss on the drop in value and also deduct the proceeds as a charitable gift.
