Ways to Give
Gifts of all shapes and sizes are welcome. Every gift, no matter how large or small, makes an impact on our college. Alumni and friends who give $500 or more in a year will become members of the CFS Dean's Club.
- Outright gifts of cash, stock, or other securities. Securities may be transferred as gifts to the college using various methods. Personal property and gifts-in-kind that fit the college's objectives are accepted and may include works of art, royalties, property, real estate, and equipment.
- Planned gifts, defined as commitments you make to the University that will benefit the college at some future date. Planned gifts could include a will bequest, a charitable gift annuity, charitable remainder annuity trust, a charitable remainder unitrust, charitable lead trust, an estate gift, retirement plan assets, or life insurance.

- Endowments are gifts that are held in perpetuity and invested in a manner that protects the principal from inflation. The investment income provides a stable funding source for such purposes as scholarships, professorships, lecture series, and research centers. More information
Corporate Matching Gifts
Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match any charitable contributions made by their employees. Check to see if your company has a matching gift policy.
If your company is eligible, request a matching gift form from your employer, and send it completed and signed with your gift. The impact of your gift to this organization may be doubled or possibly tripled.
