What You Can Give

One of the most common ways to make a gift to St. Lawrence University is to write a check, give a credit card number, or donate online.

Giving long-term appreciated stock is one of the most tax advantaged ways to make charitable gifts. With careful planning, you can reduce your capital gains tax while supporting St. Lawrence University.

Life insurance is a valuable asset for making a charitable gift. It can be made without diminishing other investments or assets earmarked for family members.

A gift of real estate allows you to preserve your cash assets, receive tax and income advantages and make a significant charitable gift to St. Lawrence.

A gift of artwork, coins, antiques or other personal property can be an excellent way to support St. Lawrence.

Giving from a donor advised fund is an ideal way for you to support St. Lawrence during this time of increased need. In addition, the DAF can serve as the basis for a legacy gift — you can specify that funds remaining in your fund after you are deceased be transferred to the University.

A gift of your retirement assets, such as an employee retirement plan, IRA, or tax-sheltered annuity, is an excellent way to make a gift. A gift of these assets can shield your heirs from taxes while funding St. Lawrence's future.
