Gifts-in-Kind
Gifts-in-kind are items of tangible personal property such as art, books, computer equipment, and automobiles. They are donated for related educational purposes and are recorded at their fair market value.
For more information, contact The Office of College Relations.
Real Estate
Real property can be deeded to the University to benefit the College of Natural Resources. A gift of real estate is often an effective way to make a major gift, since the gift entitles the donor to an income tax deduction for the property's full appraised fair market value.
For more information, contact The Office of College Relations.
Life Income/Planned Gifts
A planned gift may enable you to satisfy personal financial planning needs in addition to providing the College with important, long-term support. Some plans may provide income for life (or a term of years), an immediate income tax charitable deduction, avoidance of capital gains tax, and professional asset management (if the University serves as trustee). If a gift is made through your will, you obtain significant estate tax benefits.
For more information, contact The Office of College Relations.
Bequests
In writing your will or living trust, you can specify that you would like your estate to benefit the College of Natural Resources, University of California.
