Gifts of Stocks and Bonds: A Smart Way to Give Back

Donating appreciated securities, such as stocks or bonds, is a simple and tax-efficient way to make a meaningful gift to Utah Valley University.

Gifts of Real Estate

Donating appreciated real estate, such as a home, vacation property, undeveloped land, farmland, ranch, or commercial property, is a powerful way to support Utah Valley University while also achieving meaningful financial benefits.

Gifts of Retirement Assets

Gifts of Cash

A gift of cash is a simple and easy way for you to make a gift.

Gifts of Life Insurance

A gift of your life insurance policy is an excellent way to make a gift to our organization. If you have a life insurance policy that has outlasted its original purpose, consider making a gift of your insurance policy. For example, you may have purchased a policy to provide for minor children and they are now financially independent adults.

Gifts of Business Interests: Turning Success into Opportunity

If you are planning to sell your business or transition ownership, donating a portion of your business interest, such as corporate stock, LLC shares, or partnership interests, as part of the sale package can be a powerful way to support Utah Valley University (UVU) while achieving meaningful financial and philanthropic goals.

Gifts of Mineral Interests: Fueling Education and Opportunity

Donating mineral interests, such as oil, gas, gold, silver, or other precious metals, may be a unique and impactful way to support a cause you care about, such as Utah Valley University (UVU). If you own mineral rights that produce income or have appreciated in value, this type of gift may offer potential tax advantages and help you achieve your philanthropic goals.

Gifts of Farm Interests: Cultivating Futures Through Generosity

Donating farm interests, such as land, grain, machinery, livestock, or even your entire farm, is a meaningful way to support Utah Valley University (UVU) while gaining valuable financial benefits. If your farm has appreciated in value or no longer serves its original purpose, this type of gift can help you leave a lasting legacy.

What is Gift Planning?

Planned giving is a meaningful way to support the causes you care about-both during your lifetime and as part of your legacy. With thoughtful planning, you can align your charitable giving with your financial, tax, and estate goals. By using smart, tax-wise strategies, you may be able to make a larger impact than you thought possible, now and in the future.
