Stocks and Securities
1) You receive an income tax deduction for the full, present, and fair market value of the assets.
2) You may completely avoid capital gains tax on the appreciation of the assets.
This is one of the easiest gifts to give and one of the most useful in accomplishing your philanthropic goals. Contact us for more information.
Retirement Assets
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 you or your heirs from taxes while funding Hillsdale College. Contact us for more information.
Life Insurance
To make an impact on our mission today, irrevocably designate Hillsdale College as the owner and beneficiary of an existing life insurance policy. If your policy is paid up, you will receive an immediate income tax deduction based on the policy value.
If your policy has not yet been paid up, you will contribute cash to Hillsdale College to cover future premium payments. For any continuing premium payments you make, you will receive a charitable deduction in the year of the payment.
Name us as a beneficiary:
You can name Hillsdale College as a beneficiary of all or a portion of your life insurance policy. With this gift arrangement, Hillsdale College will receive the proceeds of your policy when you pass away. You can change your beneficiary at any time.
This gift is easy to arrange—simply request a beneficiary designation form from your plan administrator.
Please contact us with any questions or for more information.
