Ways to Give to Delhi
Cash
This is the easiest way to give and the way that most individuals make a gift to the Annual Fund. The College Foundation accepts cash, checks, MasterCard, Visa, Discovery, and American Express.
Matching Gifts
Many employers offer matching gift programs that significantly increase the value of your gift. Please check with the human resources office of your employer or your spouse’s employer to see if they participate in matching gift programs. If they do, they can supply you with a matching gift form to submit to the College Foundation. Information on matching gift companies is also available by contacting the College Foundation Office.
Stocks or Securities
Gifts of appreciated stock or securities offer particular tax benefits.
Real Estate
Real estate gifts may be accepted after review by legal counsel and the College Foundation.
In-Kind Gifts
These are typically gifts or supplies or materials used by academic departments. They can also be personal assets such as antiques, art work, jewelry, rare books, etc.
Planned Gifts
- Estate Gifts
A simple way is to designate a percentage of assets in a will or estate plan to SUNY Delhi and the College Foundation.
- Life Insurance
Life insurance policies that have been held for a long time or, if they no longer serve an important financial role, offer a convenient way to make a substantial gift. New life insurance policies with premium payments made to the College Foundation as a gift are another way to give.
- Gift Annuities and Trusts
These offer options to meet personal, financial and charitable goals.
