捐赠OBU的好处

We're very pleased that you are interested in supporting 俄克拉何马浸会大学. Your generosity will help us meet our current goals and reach farther in the future.


对我们来说, we encourage you to plan your gift thoughtfully. 现在是时候了, 这个网站就是这个地方, to consider how your gift can benefit you as well as us. Your gift can take multiple forms and can help you address a variety of personal financial goals. We're ready to work with you and your advisors to craft the gift plan that satisfies you. But first, use the following guide to help you weigh your options.

要么现在给予,要么以后给予?

A significant outright gift to OBU will allow us to meet immediate objectives. 反过来, it will give you maximum tax benefits, especially attractive if you are in high earnings years. It can also be the simplest gift to arrange. 你可能, 然而, prefer to leave your assets and cash flow alone until your death, and instead make your gift through your estate. Even though we cannot use this gift immediately, it will be critically important to our long-term financial strength and help ensure our ability to meet the opportunities and challenges the future will present us. To make a gift from your estate, you use a will or revocable trust. 你可能 also use life insurance or the balance remaining in your retirement plan. These gifts help you keep your lifetime financial planning flexible, although they provide only limited income tax benefits. You will need professional assistance to set up most estate-plan gifts.

提供什么资产?

  1. 现金
    It is, of course, the easiest transaction for both you and us. You are limited only by your cash flow and your inclination to draw from your cash reserves.
  2. 赞赏证券
    Get the same tax deduction as if you had given cash, but use stocks or bonds that cost you less than they are currently worth. Your deduction is based on market value, but you incur no capital gains liability on the transfer to us: It's one of the best tax incentives left, and we can work with your broker to make a gift of securities simple.
  3. 房地产
    Gifts of land, vacation homes or income-producing properties can bring great benefits to us. We have to review each gift proposal carefully and sometimes it's not practical for us to accept. You can give real estate outright, transfer it in a part sale/part gift arrangement, use it to fund a life-income gift, or give your residence and reserve the right to continue to live there.
  4. 退休帐户
    The balance remaining in your retirement account after your death is subject to double taxation if it passes to your heirs: it's taxed both as income and as an estate asset. 结果? Over 75% of the account value may go to taxes. It's a better plan to designate the remainder of your account to us, and then use other assets for gifts to your family. New regulations simplify the procedure of naming a charity as beneficiary, and we are ready to help you plan this gift.
  5. 资产升值
    你可能 be holding a book collection or artwork that you no longer wish to maintain. Instead, these assets could bring real benefit to us. There are particular IRS requirements to meet before you can deduct a gift of appreciated assets. And, we will review each gift proposal carefully to make sure that we can put the asset to good use.
  6. 商业利益
    一个伙伴关系, 对生意的兴趣, 股份:少数人持有的股票, or a limited partnership share may all hold value for us. 我们将审查提议的礼物, and if we agree will work with you and your advisors to make the transfer simple.

礼物怎么能回报你呢?
Your gift to OBU does not have to be made outright, because we offer gift plans that pay you income in return for your contribution. You can receive fixed or variable income, take payments for your lifetime or for a term of years, and direct the income to beneficiaries other than yourself. In essence, you make a contribution to us yet retain benefits from what you gave away. Your charitable deduction is based on the full market value of the assets you gave, minus the present value of the income interest you retained. The higher the income payout, the lower the deduction.

These flexible, creative gifts address a variety of your planning objectives. 对我们来说, the return of income allows you to consider a more substantial gift to us than you might be able to afford in an outright format. Even though we cannot use these gifts until the death of the last income beneficiary, they give us long-term financial strength that will sustain us in the future.
