Tell us if you’d like to earmark your gift for:

- an existing program you designate
- a new program you’d like to help the board create in honor
of a friend or loved one
- investment in the foundation’s endowment fund for future
use
Donations of any amount, no matter how large or small, are gratefully
accepted year-round. You can also make your tax credit contribution
directly to the TUHSD General Fund.
You can do other things to help the foundation. Volunteer
at special events. Donate merchandise or gift certificates for the
annual event. Consider these suggestions:
- United Way Designee
Although the TUHS Education Foundation is not a United Way agency,
you may designate the foundation to receive all or part of the
contribution
on your donor form. Just write in “TUHS Education Foundation,
500 W. Guadalupe Road, Tempe, AZ 85283-3599"
- Matching Gifts
You may be able to double your gift to the Foundation. Check
with your employer for a matching gifts program.
- Gifts of Appreciated Stocks
By making a charitable gift of appreciated stock, you can avoid
or delay the capital gain tax that is due when an appreciated
stock is
sold. You can also take an immediate income tax deduction for the
current fair market value of the stock, no matter what you
paid for
it. Such gifts are deductible up to 30 percent of your adjusted
gross income in the year of the gift. Any unused amounts may
be used in
as many as five subsequent tax years.
- Bequests Through Will
You can make a gift bequest to the Foundation by providing a
dollar amount, specify property, percentage of your estate,
or the remainder.
Such a designation can reduce your taxes.
- Charitable Remainder Trust Gifts
Donors and spouses can benefit from lifelong payments from such
a trust. The donor selects the rate of return from these income
arrangements
and also chooses a fixed or fluctuating annual payment to be made
to the designated parties as long as they live. Capital gains
can
be completely bypassed and you will receive a tax deduction based
on the age of the income recipient and the rate of return chosen.
- Charitable Lead Trust Gifts
Assets (generally cash or securities) are transferred to a trust
that pays income from the fund to this organization for the
number of years
you select. This trust helps to lower estate and gift taxes that
would otherwise be due on the assets.
- Gift Annuity
In exchange for a gift of cash, stock or securities, the TUHS
Education Foundation will pay you, you and your survivor or
another person named
by you, a guaranteed income for life. In addition, you receive
a substantial income tax deduction in the year of the gift
and part of the annual
payment is non-taxable.
- Deferred Gift Annuity
This is similar to a gift annuity except that payments begin
for you at a future date of choice, such as your retirement.
Your tax deductions
and the annual rate of return on your annuity increase the longer
you wait to start payments.
- Life Insurance
By naming the Foundation the owner and beneficiary to receive
the proceeds of an existing life insurance policy, you will
receive a
tax deduction for approximately the cash surrender value, thereby
reducing your tax liability in the year of the gift.
- Gifts Through Retirement Accounts and Pension Plans
Account funds (IRA or company plans), beyond the comfort of yourself
or loved one, may be given (like life insurance proceeds) to
the Foundation
by proper beneficiary designation.
- Gifts of Real Estate
A gift of real estate to the Foundation provides a substantial
income tax deduction. You may continue to live on and maintain
the property
as usual, and receive any income the property generates. You will
receive a tax deduction for the full fair market value, avoid
all
capital gains tax and remove the asset from future estate taxes.
Upon your death, the property will be sold and the proceeds
used to support
the Foundation.
- Scholarships
Scholarships can be established in honor/memory of a family member,
a friend, student, teacher, mentor, community member or any organization.
Through your support, you will give the gift of honoring someone
and
at the same time supporting Tempe’s youth in their educational
endeavors. These scholarships are funded by annual contributions.
If you would like to establish a scholarship through the Foundation,
three types are available: Annual Gift, Heritage, and Legacy.
- An Annual
Gift scholarship is awarded in an amount specified by the donor
and is awarded annually in that amount as long as funds
are available. If you already have an Annual Gift Scholarship
established, you may want to consider enhancing your scholarship
for 10 years
(Heritage) or insuring it is perpetuity (Legacy).
- A Heritage scholarship is intended to last for ten years or
longer. Such an account contains an initial capital amount of
at least ten
times the specified annual award.
- A Legacy scholarship is intended to last indefinitely. Please
contact our office to discuss funding options.
Representatives of the TUHS Education Foundation will be happy to
meet with potential sponsors to discuss conditions of scholarships.
The primary focus of the Foundation is to fulfill the wishes of the
sponsor.
