Gifts of stocks or
bonds
With recent stock market gains, now may be the best time to
consider a gift of stock to Monmouth College. If you own
marketable securities that have increased in value since you
purchased them, you can avoid paying a capital gains tax by giving
them to Monmouth College. You will receive a tax deduction for the
full fair market value of the stock on the date of your gift.

Life income gifts
When considering money market rates and dividends paid on stocks,
your gift of cash or stock to Monmouth College, made in the form
of a "life income gift," can actually increase your income. A life
income gift allows you to transfer assets to the college now,
while continuing to receive income. A life income gift can allow
you to increase your income for life, receive a charitable tax
deduction and potentially avoid any capital gains tax on the
appreciation.
Gifts of real
estate
If you have owned your home, a vacation home or farmland for many
years, it may be a tax advantage for you to give real estate to
Monmouth College. As with marketable securities, if you give real
estate you have held long-term, you may deduct the full market
value and avoid the capital gains tax. And, of course, you would
no longer have the responsibility of managing, performing upkeep
and paying property taxes each year.
Gifts of life
insurance
If you own a life insurance policy that is no longer needed,
making a charitable gift of the policy to Monmouth College could
be to your advantage. Consider giving a current policy or
purchasing a new policy that names Monmouth College as the owner
and beneficiary. If your policy has a cash value, you can take a
charitable deduction approximately equal to the cash value at the
time of the gift. In addition, if you continue to pay annual
premiums on the policy, they will be tax-deductible gifts.
Gifts of cash
There is no easier way to receive a charitable deduction--and
support Monmouth College at the same time--than by simply writing
a check. Make sure your envelope is postmarked by December 31 of
the tax year for which you wish to receive the deduction.
