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