An Example of How It Works

Binghamton student in lab When John's mother passed away, he knew he wanted to do something special to establish a lasting legacy. Because she was always praising the University's efforts in the community, he decided to create a scholarship in her name.

John decided to fund this scholarship in his mothers name with appreciated securities. Not only will his mother's legacy live on at the Foundation thanks to the gift, but John also qualified for a federal income tax charitable deduction and eliminated capital gains tax on the securities.
