Different assets offer different tax advantages.
It is wise to consult your financial advisor to select the best way to give. Meeting Current and Continuing Needs With an outright gift of cash or appreciated securities, you provide the means to meet current needs as they arise. You can also use an outright gift to create an endowment or to enhance an existing endowment, which will generate resources for students and faculty in perpetuity. Providing For the Future Planned gifts enable you to benefit medical and nursing programs in the future while meeting your own present and future financial needs. Such gifts can provide significant tax benefits.
