Your gift of appreciated securities, like stock held in a brokerage account or by you in stock certificates, or gifts of property have the potential to provide you with major tax breaks and satisfy your philanthropic interests.
Student Scholarships
With an increased number of students comes the challenge of providing adequate scholarship support. Every year, the department receives applications from outstanding individuals with stellar qualifications to be a student of biomedical informatics. To draw the top students we need your help with providing first year scholarships.
Faculty Support
An important goal for attracting top faculty is to provide endowed chairs and professorships. Named investments at this level provide a transformational legacy in the department. Endowments for chairs and professorships may be accomplished through a variety of estate planning vehicles that can provide significant tax benefits for the donor. Your gift to the General Gift Fund provides essential resources that can be used to fund urgent needs within the Department.
