If something is not done correctly, it cannot be dismissed as only being a demonstration or a practice exercise. The students must follow through and take the time to correct the problem. When the job is finished and done right, the students will really remember the lesson. Such generosity enables the institution to continue to provide resources and initiatives not funded by state support. These gifts add an extra dimension and are critical to all academic programs at the university.
Donors make a difference in the lives of everyone on campus.
The following information on Gifts of Appreciated Securities may help you accomplish your goal of donating funds to UW-Stout. It is often more tax-wise to contribute securities than cash. If you have appreciated securities, giving them instead of cash to your favorite charity offers a two-fold tax savings. In addition to a charitable deduction for the full fair market value of the securities on the date of the gift, you may avoid any capital gain tax on the appreciated securities. The net cost of the gift may be further reduced because of state tax advantages also.
