Appreciated Securities
If your investments in the financial markets have been successful, you can use these assets without losing a substantial portion of your earnings to the capital gains tax by making your gift with appreciated stock. Also, a gift of stock held more than one year may qualify for a charitable income tax deduction equal to the securities' full fair-market value. It is also possible to make a gift with appreciated securities in a mutual fund. For information on donating securities, please call 901/678-4376.

In-Kind
The University accepts donations of goods and services from both individuals and corporations. Examples include: office supplies, books for the library, land, etc. For more information about in-kind gifts, please call 901/678-4376.
