If you have established a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF), you can use it 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 guide you through the process.

You can give Hillsdale College a memorial or tribute gift to honor someone special. This gift is an expression of your love, admiration, and gratitude. You will honor your loved one, create a lasting tribute, and defend liberty through education. Contact us for more information about memorial or tribute gifts.

You can donate stocks, bonds, and mutual funds that have appreciated to defend liberty through education. You may even receive a charitable tax deduction for the full market value of your donation (up to a maximum of 30% of your adjusted gross income) and avoid paying the capital gains tax on any increase. Contact us for more information.

Would you like to encourage other Americans to defend liberty through education? Consider sponsoring a matching gift challenge. You can 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 type of giving is an effective way to provide an outstanding education to our undergraduate and graduate students, publish and distribute Imprimis to millions of homes, provide free online courses that reach additional millions, offer an American classical education to elementary and high school students, and much more—all without ONE PENNY of state or federal funding, even indirectly through student grants or loans.

Here’s how this process works…

• You must be 70 ½ or older.
• You may transfer up to $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 and cannot be used to fund a Donor-Advised Fund.
• Your gift is a transfer of funds from your IRA directly to Hillsdale College, so it does not count as income for the year.
• If you are 73 or older, the transfer of funds counts toward 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 can also 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.
