Planned Gifts
Planned giving includes gifts from a person’s wealth rather than from their checking account only, can include gifts of cash as well as assets of all kinds, and can be given during and after a person’s lifetime. These donations often require careful planning and guidance from professional advisors to maximize benefit to the donor, their heirs, and to FAU. Knowledgeable Foundation staff are here to help you learn how you can support FAU while ensuring your family’s financial security.

Gifts-in-Kind
A gift-in-kind is a good or service given as a charitable gift. The IRS requires the donor to determine the fair market value of the gift for tax reporting purposes. Please contact Kristin Bird, director of development, at 561.297.3977 or birdk@fau.edu to learn more or determine if your donation meets our current policy and gift needs.
Stocks and Securities
Stocks and securities are often among the most valuable assets you own, and they can carry substantial capital gain or appreciation in value. With careful planning, you can reduce or even eliminate federal capital gains tax while supporting FAU. To learn more about stocks and securities giving, please contact Ilyse Wertheim at 561.297.4609 or email iwerthei@fau.edu.
