Gifts of stock make it possible for you and your corporation to provide much-needed support for Berry students while also reaping financial benefits, starting with an income tax deduction for the charitable contribution. Other potential benefits include a break on the capital gains tax that otherwise might be assessed on the appreciated value of the stock. It is also possible that by averting a dividend distribution, no additional taxes will be assessed on accumulated earnings. Please be sure to discuss the potential benefits with your tax advisor before making the gift. To complete the transaction, the following information, along with your name, will need to be included:

Many companies match charitable contributions made by employees, thus doubling the impact of their generosity in support of Berry students. Please talk to your employer to determine whether your company matches gifts. If yes, be sure to obtain a matching gift form to be completed and submitted with your gift.

You choose the amount you wish to give; commitments can be changed or canceled at any time. Recurring giving is especially popular for young alumni seeking to make a difference now in the lives of Berry students. Establish your recurring gift by choosing the payment schedule of your choice on the online giving form. If you have questions, please contact Brenda Jenkins at 706-290-2667 or bjenkins@berry.edu.
