Giving + Getting the most from your assets

When most people think about making a charitable gift, they think of giving cash. While we welcome gifts of many kinds to help support Mississippi State University, there are ways you can give and benefit from a gift of other assets.

• You can avoid paying capital gains tax if you give appreciated assets. • You will receive a charitable deduction for your gift which can lower your tax bill. • You can make a gift today while preserving your cash for immediate or future needs. • You and your family can receive benefits such as lifetime income. • You may be able to make greater gifts than you ever thought possible.

For more information on how you can give and get the most from your assets, contact the MSU Foundation Office of Gift Planning.
