Pledges enable a donor to plan a personal giving program that is both convenient and tax-wise.
Endowment funds are essential to the vitality and financial security so they can power the university’s core mission of education, research, knowledge creation, and community service.
Individuals 70½ years old and older can give up to $105,000 per year from their IRA directly to a qualified charity such as The Ohio State University Foundation without having to pay income taxes on the donation.
Alternatives to monetary gifts such as equipment or books are always appreciated. Contact us for information on making such a donation.
Gifts of appreciated securities may be tax deductible, up to 30 percent of your adjusted gross income. The deduction is based on the full fair market value, and capital gains tax is not due when the stock is transferred to the university.
