Gifts that make an impact on Butler today

Outright gifts of cash or appreciated securities
The Foundation accepts stocks or other securities as donations. When you donate appreciated securities, it provides an immediate benefit to Butler and the maximum income tax deduction to you.

Gifts of appreciated stock or mutual funds qualify for an income tax deduction equal to the current market value of the transferred assets. By transferring those assets to the Butler Foundation, you also avoid paying capital gain tax. In most cases, this double tax savings makes a gift of appreciated securities a very cost effective gift option.

Matching gifts
Many local corporations, including The Boeing Company and Cessna will match gifts made by employees. Your gift could be increased from one to three times for each dollar contributed. This is an easy and effective way to multiply the impact of your gift. Check with your human resources department for details.

Outright gifts of real estate
Land or a home you no longer need can have a significant impact when donated to Butler.

In-Kind Donations
The Foundation accepts in-kind donations, such as equipment, artwork, rare books, and other property that can be useful to the college or can be readily converted to cash.
