Additional Ways to Give

There’s more than one way to make a difference. Beyond traditional cash gifts, options like planned giving, IRA distributions, and stock transfers offer flexible ways to support the University while aligning with your long-term financial and philanthropic goals.

Planned Giving

Planned gifts, such as including the University in your will or estate plans, allow you to support future generations and create a lasting legacy. Many options may offer tax or financial benefits, depending on your situation. We encourage you to explore what’s possible and consult your financial or legal advisor.

Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs)

You may be eligible to make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) directly from your IRA. This can be a simple and tax-efficient way to support the University of Montevallo Foundation. Whether you’re ready to give, need acknowledgment for a recent gift, or want to learn more, getting started is easy.

Stocks and Securities

Give more without using cash. Donating appreciated stocks or securities can increase your impact while offering potential tax advantages based on current IRS guidelines. It’s a straightforward process that never touches your bank account and reduces your capital gains taxes.
