Ways To Give

Cash or Check

U.S. taxpayers who itemize their returns will receive a charitable tax deduction. Checks should be made out to Assumption College. Mail gifts to: Assumption College, Office of Annual Giving, 500 Salisbury Street, Worcester, MA 01609-1296.

To make your gift using your Discover, Visa or MasterCard, please call the Annual Fund Office at (508) 767-7464 . Your gift will be credited that day.

Gifts of appreciated securities are attractive because they provide a deduction at their "fair market value" on the date of transfer, if held long-term (one year), without triggering a capital gains tax. Donors will receive credit for the mean value of the stock on the day of transfer.

1. You pay no capital gains tax on the appreciation in accordance with the tax law changes of 1997.

2. The full current market value qualifies as a charitable contribution deduction.

Note: To avoid capital gains tax, the donation must be made to Assumption College before the securities are sold. Otherwise, you will be liable for tax on the capital gain.

If you are considering a gift of stock to Assumption, please call the Annual Fund Office (508) 767-7464 for instructions on how to mail the stock certificate or how to wire transfer the shares directly to the College account.

More than 1,000 corporations match personal gifts to colleges made by their employees. In some cases, gifts by spouses and retirees will be matched. A number of companies match gifts on a 2:1 basis. Corporate matching gifts to Assumption can only be initiated by the donor, through the donor's place of employment. Donors will receive credit toward the various giving clubs (including the President's Council) for their matching gift.
