Current gifts are contributions that can be put to use by Student Affairs immediately upon receipt from the donor.

Cash Gifts
A gift of cash is the most commonly used means of giving to Student Affairs. Most cash gifts are made through Student Affairs' Annual Giving Funds.

Gifts of Securities
Gifts of common stocks, bonds, mutual funds, or other appreciated securities may be made to Student Affairs. Depending on the circumstances, the securities will either be managed or liquidated to achieve the donor's goals. A popular benefit of such a gift beyond the charitable income tax deduction is that, in most cases, capital gains tax on the appreciation of the securities can be avoided.

Gifts of Property
Gifts of real estate and many other properties of value may be given to Student Affairs as well. These gifts can often receive the same tax treatment as gifts of securities: no capital gains tax plus deductibility at fair market value.

Matching Gifts
Many companies match the gifts their employees make to Student Affairs. If your employer has a matching gift program, your own gift to a specific area of support may be doubled or even tripled. If your company has a matching gift program, the Human Resources Department at your company will be able to provide you with additional details and a matching gift form.
