Gifts of appreciated stocks and bonds are popular among Columbia alumni and friends. If you are considering a donation of $1,000 or more, there are many tax advantages to giving securities.

Many employers sponsor matching gift programs. Ask if your or your spouse’s company has a matching gift program so you can double the impact of your gift to Columbia.

Planned gifts offer a variety of benefits for both donors and Columbia. There are several options that allow you to support Columbia while meeting other financial goals.

A recurring gift is an easy, automatic way to give according to your budget and schedule. Recurring gifts are customizable for donors and help ensure a stable source of funding for Columbia. Simply choose “recurring gift” when you give online.

By spreading a donation over time, pledges help you make larger gifts at your own pace, allowing a potentially greater impact on the University. Some donors make multi-year pledges, often over five years or less.

For information about making a pledge, call 212-851-7960 or e-mail ke2299@columbia.edu.
