• PAYROLL DEDUCTION
• Payroll Deduction provides UC Davis employees with an easy, convenient and tax-advantaged way to support their university. It also allows UC Davis employees the flexibility of splitting gifts into convenient payments and gives the added ability to control the length and frequency of the donation.
• DONOR ADVISED FUNDS (DAF)
• Donor Advised Funds (DAF), which are like charitable savings accounts, give you the flexibility to recommend how much and how often money is granted to UC Davis and other qualified charities.
• GIFTS OF SECURITIES
• Gifts of Securities, including stocks, bonds and mutual funds, can provide relief from capital gains taxes.
• PLEDGES
• Pledges allow donors to promise a gift and make payments over time, which sometimes enables contributors to give more generously than otherwise possible. Payments can be made using cash, credit cards, securities, or other kinds of assets, over a period of up to five years.
• GIFTS-IN-KIND
• Gifts-In-Kind are items of tangible personal property or other physical assets — including artwork, books, equipment or specialized instruments — that are of value to the university.
• GIFTS OF REAL PROPERTY
• Gifts of Real Property, including land, farms, personal residences, and rental or commercial property, can benefit the university while providing relief from capital gains taxes and eliminating property expenses.
• PLANNED GIFTS
