Give LaterThere are many ways to contribute to Goddard College and invest in its future. Many are outright, such as participating in the Annual Fund drives, or donating on-line. Others are “deferred”, meaning that you plan for a gift ahead of time, to happen in the future. These include:
Monthly Giving Bequests: A monthly contribution is an easy way to give a larger gift by donating an amount automatically every month. Making a bequest to Goddard provides an important legacy, ensuring that a Goddard education exists for generations to come.
When you give a gift of stock, everyone benefits. You are entitled to a tax deduction for the market value of that stock, and if you have held the stock for more than a year, you can avoid capital gains tax (on appreciation) by donating the stock prior to sale. Goddard benefits by the gift itself, by selling it without paying taxes on the gain.
