Gifts of Cash or Securities

Gifts of cash or securities come in all sizes, from smaller, yearly gifts to the SDSU Annual Fund to larger gifts directed to strategic initiatives such as The President’s Leadership Fund, which provides President Stephen L. Weber with discretionary resources for meritorious programs and people. Gifts may be made to celebrate friends and loved ones, or they may be used to name a program or building. Further, many companies will make a matching gift to SDSU when one of their employees makes a donation.

The simplest gift you can make to San Diego State is an outright gift of cash that can be put to use immediately, either providing funding for current programs or creating a reliable source of future income through the university’s endowment. This tax-deductible donation may come in the form of cash, check or credit card charge.

Appreciated stocks and bonds are, next to cash, the most common asset donated to SDSU by our alumni and friends. By transferring appreciated stock or other securities to SDSU, you not only receive the income tax deduction, but you can also avoid capital gains tax and possibly save on your estate taxes.
