Making a gift of securities to us offers you the chance to help our organization while realizing many important benefits for yourself. To learn more about gifts of securities, please visit the Colorado State University Foundation Web site.

Establishing the Value of Your Gift
For publicly traded securities, your gift value is determined by the average of the high and low market prices on the date of your gift. The valuation assigned by the Foundation is for internal gift recognition purposes only. It is the responsibility of the donor to determine the value for tax purposes.

Gifts in Kind
A gift of personal property includes equipment, inventory, books, works of art, or other tangible property. Gifts of personal property are accepted by Colorado State University Foundation. Gifts-in-kind will be used to benefit the College, department, or center as designated by the donor.
Acceptance of the gift is based on whether the College can use the gift in furtherance of its mission. Consideration will be given to the cost of accepting and maintaining the gift as well as costs associated with potential re-sale of the gift.
Depending upon the donor's tax circumstances, a charitable deduction may be claimed if the gift is accepted for the University's tax exempt purposes. Id a donor is going to claim a deduction of more than $5,000, IRS Form 8283 is required.
