You may choose to support Loyola University Maryland through a number of giving options: Cash The most common forms of giving, outright gifts of cash via check or credit card, enable Loyola to meet its financial obligations for academic initiatives and programs. If you itemize your taxes, you may claim a federal income tax charitable deduction for the total amount of your gift, up to 50 percent of your adjusted gross income. Unused deductions may be carried over for up to five additional years. Pledges You may choose to make a single-year or multi-year annual or capital campaign pledge with a payment schedule of your choosing. Loyola will send you periodic pledge reminders, according to a schedule determined by you, as well as reports of your pledge status. Loyola’s fiscal year is June 1 to May 31. Securities: Stocks, Bonds, Mutual Funds, Options Gifts of securities, bonds and mutual funds that have appreciated in value provide excellent tax advantages for donors. For appreciated securities held longer than one year, you may deduct the full fair market value of your gift, up to 30 percent of your adjusted gross income. Unused deductions may be carried over for up to five additional years, and you pay no capital gains tax. Loyola will provide assistance in managing these transactions efficiently. back to top Matching Gifts Hundreds of corporations match the charitable contributions made by their employees, directors, employee's spouses, or retirees. You may double or even triple your campaign gift by checking with your company's Human Resources Office to see if they participate in a matching gift program. If they do, simply request and complete your company's matching gift form and include it with your gift to Loyola University Maryland. back to top Gifts of Property Almost any form of property -- real estate, personal property, insurance policies and business interests -- can provide a suitable charitable gift. If you are considering a gift of property, please consult your attorney, accountant, financial advisor and the University to ensure that the gift will meet your intention to support Loyola University Maryland, in addition to your financial interests. back to top Planned Giving Members of The Jenkins Society share a common vision for Loyola University Maryland and choose to realize that vision through planned gifts.
