Learn which assets are most commonly used to fund a gift.

Cash

One of the most common ways to make a gift to Brooklyn College Foundation is to write a check, make a gift using a credit card, or donate online.

Stocks and Bonds

Giving long-term appreciated stock is one of the most tax advantaged ways to make charitable gifts. With careful planning, you can reduce your capital gains tax while supporting Brooklyn College Foundation.

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 your heirs from taxes while helping to secure the future of Brooklyn College.

Life Insurance

Life insurance is a valuable asset for making a charitable gift. It can be made without diminishing other investments or assets earmarked for family members.

Personal Property

A gift of artwork, coins, antiques or other personal property can be an excellent way to support the Brooklyn College Foundation.
