Ways to Give

Our team of charitable giving professionals can work with you and your advisors to develop a gift plan that meets your personal and philanthropic goals.

A Donor-Advised Fund can provide you with immediate tax benefits while making your charitable giving easier for years to come. Might a donor-advised fund be right for you? Here’s how it works.

A charitable gift from your estate is a favored method of giving that enables you to achieve your financial goals, maintain control of your assets, and benefit Syracuse University.

While you may transfer many of your assets through your will or living trust, a document called a beneficiary designation controls distribution of your retirement plans, life insurance policies, commercial annuities and a variety of financial accounts.

The IRA charitable rollover (also called the Qualified Charitable Distribution, or QCD) is a great way to make a tax-free gift to Syracuse University.

Support Syracuse University while generating income for yourself and your family. Learn how these gifts allow you to achieve both of these goals.

Donate your home, farm or a second home to Syracuse University and receive an immediate income tax charitable deduction, while retaining the right to live in your home for the rest of your life. If you itemize your deductions instead of taking the standard deduction you could save significant income taxes.

Make a substantial gift to Syracuse University in the form of fixed annual payments and pass assets to your family or other heirs at reduced tax cost.

Receive immediate cash and make a gift to Syracuse University by selling to us a valuable asset, such as real estate, for less than it is worth.
