Gifts of Securities
Gifts of appreciated securities, including publicly traded and privately held stock and mutual funds, to Philadelphia University, owned for the minimum period required by law, are deductible at fair market value on the day they are transferred to the University. Ownership of the securities must by transferred prior to any sale to qualify for the fair market value deduction and to avoid capital gains taxes on the appreciation.

Planned Gifts
There are a number of methods by which donors can make sizable future gifts to Philadelphia University while enjoying increased income and reduced taxes. Life income programs may eliminate or significantly reduce capital gains taxes on appreciated assets. The agreement is tailored to the donor’s personal financial needs and may produce income for the donor, donor and spouse, or donor and another beneficiary. Gifts can be made using cash, securities, bonds, real estate or personal property.

Bequests
Individuals may include Philadelphia University in their wills by naming the University for either a specific amount or a percent share of their estate. Many donors name Philadelphia University as the residual beneficiary of their estates after payment of bequests to others. The University also welcomes gifts of personal property by bequest.
