Give a Gift
Gift giving can be at any level. Every gift to the College
of Optometry helps. Partnerships like yours provide critical
assistance to the support of our students, faculty, academic
programs and the communities that we serve. One hundred percent
of your gift designated to The Ohio State University College
of Optometry benefits the college in immeasurable ways. Your
gift may go toward any one of our many special projects,
for example: children’s vision, student financial aid,
the dean’s discretionary fund, clinic support, or outreach.
When you send a gift, please designate to what project or
fund you would like to contribute.
Cash
Cash is often the most convenient form of giving. Cash gifts
are fully deductible for federal income tax purposes, provided
deductions are itemized.
Pledges
Pledges enable a donor to plan a personal giving program
that is both convenient and tax-wise. A pledge may enable
a donor to consider a more significant gift than would have
been otherwise possible. Terms for payment on pledges are
flexible and at the option of the donor.
Securities
Securities may be made as outright gifts or as a payment
on a pledge. Stock certificates may be reassigned directly
to The Ohio State University Foundation or may be transferred
through the donor's broker. The mean market value on the
date of the transfer will determine the value of the gift
for tax purposes. It is best to consult with the College’s
Director of Development before a transaction is made. For
general questions on securities, call (614) 292-2100.
Gifts of appreciated securities may be tax deductible, up
to 30 percent of your adjusted gross income. The deduction
is based on the full fair market value, and capital gains
tax is not due when the stock is transferred to the university.
Planned Gifts
In certain instances, it may be preferable from an estate,
financial and tax planning perspective to consider long-term
planned giving as the best way to make a gift. This can be
accomplished through various gift instruments, such as charitable
remaindertrusts, gift annuities, charitable lead trusts,
and bequests. For more information on planned giving, contact
Gayle Glanville at the address below.
