When you make an outright gift to SJSU, your contribution can be put to work immediately -- either providing funding for current programs or creating a reliable source of future income by expanding the university's endowment. An outright gift may be composed of almost any asset of value:
Deferred or planned gifts include bequests, real estate, life-income agreements, charitable trusts and other options for your estate. Find out about increasing your income, earning valuable income-tax deductions and reducing your estate taxes. Get more information about planned giving.
An easy way to double or even triple your donation to SJSU is to find out if your company has a gift matching program. Such programs typically match all or a percentage of employee contributions to charitable organizations, making the employer a partner in employees' personal philanthropy. Get more information about gift matching.
