You can use your donor-advised fund (DAF) to make a one-time gift, or to create a recurring monthly or quarterly gift for even more impact.

You can conveniently initiate a grant from your DAF using the link below. Simply type in the name of your fund sponsor and the system will prompt you through the process.

When you give a memorial or tribute gift for Hillsdale College to honor someone special, you’re expressing your love, admiration, and gratitude in one of the most meaningful ways there is. Your gift will honor your loved one, create a lasting tribute, and support our noble mission. Contact us for more information.

You can use stocks, bonds, and mutual funds that have appreciated in value to support our shared vision. You may receive a charitable income tax deduction for the full market value of the stock (up to a maximum of 30% of your adjusted gross income) and avoid paying the capital gains tax on any increase in the value of the stock. Contact us for more information.

Would you like to maximize the impact of your giving and encourage other supporters to mobilize on behalf of independent, classical education? Consider sponsoring a matching gift challenge. Donate a pool of funds to Hillsdale College, from which we will match any donation made within a given period of time. In this way, you can double the impact of your giving. Contact us for more information.

You can transfer funds from your IRA directly to Hillsdale College. This is an effective way to have an immediate impact and ensure our work providing an outstanding education at the college, publishing and distributing Imprimis, providing free online courses that reach hundreds of thousands, offering classical education to grades K-12 through charter schools, and much more. Here’s how it works:

• You must be 70 ½ or older.
• An individual may transfer up to a total of $108,000 per year and a married couple may give up to $216,000 to all organizations.
• Your gift must be transferred directly from the IRA account to Hillsdale College.
• Your gift is a transfer of funds from your IRA to Hillsdale College so it does not count as income for the year.
• If you are 73 and older, the transfer of funds counts towards your annual Required Minimum Distribution from your IRA.

You can download a sample letter for your IRA administrator here to start the distribution process. You may also be able to request a qualified charitable distribution through your online account portal.

Please note: If you are still working and contributing to a retirement account, this gift could impact your taxable income. Please consult a qualified advisor before making a gift.
