CASH, CHECKS, CREDIT CARD, PAYPAL
The easiest way to donate; contributions can be sent via check to the Kent State Foundation office, or you can make a credit card donation online.
Securities
The Kent State Foundation accepts appreciated securities, which may offer a larger tax benefit than a cash gift.
Donor Advised Fund
Donor Advised Fund (DAF) is a vehicle that allows donors to make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax deduction and then recommend grants to be distributed from the fund over time.
Real Estate
Gifts of long-term, appreciated real estate usually offer an immediate tax benefit.
Gift Planning
Bequests present a way to leave a legacy after your lifetime. You may also establish a trust or annuity that can provide income to you or a loved one while benefiting the university. Our advisers can help you determine the best options.
Payroll Deduction
Employees of 5X社区 can make their contributions through automatic deductions from their paychecks.
