How to Give Online Using a Credit Card
Gifts by credit card can be made using our on-line giving site. This is a fast, safe and secure way of investing in the college. The university accepts Visa, Mastercard and Discover.
Securities
Gifts of stocks and bonds are welcomed at the University of Tennessee; however these gifts require special planning. Please contact the Office of Development and Alumni Affairs at 865-974-6083 for more information.
Gifts of appreciated securities typically carry benefits not associated with gifts made by check, cash or credit card.
- You avoid capital gains tax. Any gain is taxable if you sell stock or mutual fund shares yourself, but it is not taxable if you transfer ownership to the university.
- Your charitable deduction for federal income tax purposes is based on the full, fair- market value of the shares on the date the gift is made.
- You receive gift credit for the full ,fair market value of the shares, but the cost to you is only your original purchase price.
Matching Gifts
Many companies provide matching gifts for their employees as part of their employee benefit packages. If you plan to make a gift, check with your employer to see if they participate in a matching gift program. This is an easy way to enhance the impact made by your gift.
