Corporate Matching Gifts<\/h3>\r\n \r\n <\/svg>\r\n <\/span>\r\n <\/a>\r\n\r\n
\r\n

Many companies encourage employees to be charitable by matching their gifts dollar-for-dollar, and sometimes as much as two or three dollars for every dollar given. Maximize your contribution by applying for a corporate match. Information on your company\u2019s matching gift program is generally available through a human resources department.<\/p>\n<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\r\n

Securities and Other Appreciated Assets<\/h3>\r\n \r\n <\/svg>\r\n <\/span>\r\n <\/a>\r\n\r\n
\r\n

A gift of appreciated assets such as stock, required mandatory distributions (RMD), gifts from donor advised funds, may have significant tax benefits for a donor.<\/p>\n

Call Lisa Kelly, Executive Director, Middlesex College Foundation, 732-906-4661 or email lkelly@middlesexcollege.edu<\/a>\u00a0for instructions on how to transfer stock or for information on giving other appreciated assets.<\/p>\n<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\r\n

Bequests<\/h3>\r\n \r\n <\/svg>\r\n <\/span>\r\n <\/a>\r\n\r\n
\r\n

Gifts through one\u2019s will may qualify for a charitable deduction which can reduce estate taxes and preserve more of the donor\u2019s assets for family and other beneficiaries. If you have already planned a bequest to benefit Middlesex College students, please let us know as we would like to thank you for your thoughtful planning by recognizing you as a member of the Foundation\u2019s Legacy Society.<\/p>\n

Please contact Lisa Kelly, Executive Director, Middlesex College Foundation, at 732-906-4661 or email lkelly@middlesexcollege.edu<\/a> to discuss how you may make a gift through a bequest.<\/p>\n<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\r\n

Life Insurance<\/h3>\r\n \r\n <\/svg>\r\n <\/span>\r\n <\/a>\r\n\r\n
\r\n

Gifting life insurance is a popular option for donors who own policies that are no longer needed for their original purpose. If you purchased a policy to pay for a child\u2019s education or to meet a financial responsibility which has since been satisfied, gifting life insurance may be a means to provide support for Middlesex students and to realize an immediate tax deduction.<\/p>\n<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\r\n

Charitable Remainder Trust<\/h3>\r\n \r\n <\/svg>\r\n <\/span>\r\n <\/a>\r\n\r\n
\r\n

A charitable remainder trust allows a donor to make an irrevocable contribution of cash or property to the Middlesex College Foundation. The donor\u2019s chosen trustee pays income from the trust to designated beneficiaries for life or a set term of years. At the death of the last beneficiary, the principal is distributed to the Foundation. An estate-planning attorney should be contacted to create such a trust.<\/p>\n<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\r\n

Charitable Lead Trust<\/h3>\r\n \r\n <\/svg>\r\n <\/span>\r\n <\/a>\r\n\r\n
\r\n

A charitable lead trust allows a donor to make a substantial gift by funding a trust and designating the Middlesex College Foundation as the income beneficiary for a set time period. At the conclusion of that time, the principal of the trust and all capital appreciation is returned either to the donor or a designated beneficiary. An estate-planning attorney should be contacted to create such a trust.<\/p>\n<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\r\n
