Other Ways to Give
Stocks and Securities
A gift of stocks or securities to GW can be arranged via electronic transfer or by receipt of stock certificates. The gift provides a full income tax deduction, negates capital gains tax, and may also avoid estate taxes.
We would be happy to talk to you, your lawyer or tax advisor about the advantages of making a gift of appreciated assets such as stocks or bonds—or other giving opportunities.
Gifts in Kind
From the rare banking documents of presidents and senators to works of art, gifts-in-kind are priceless for the inspiration and knowledge they impart to the students and friends of The George Washington University. Whether added to the permanent collection or loaned for an exhibit, these items are valuable tools for our academic community.
For more information about any of the above options, please contact John Kendrick, executive director of planned giving, at jbk01@gwu.edu or 202-994-6131.
