Ways To Give

Many thanks for your generosity to GS! Your support is sincerely appreciated.

Gifts of Cash
Cash is the easiest and most direct way to give to GS and allows you to enjoy seeing the immediate results of your generosity. All gifts of cash are fully deductible for individuals who itemize their federal tax return.

Corporate Matching Gifts
Most companies match $1 for $1 given by their employee; however, other companies have matching gift ratios of 2:1, 3:1, and even 4:1. Please contact your human resources office for a matching gift form.

Gift of Securities
A gift or appreciated securities can save you taxes twice. If you have held the securities for more than one year, you will receive an income tax deduction for the full market value of your securities. You also avoid capital gains tax on the appreciation. Learn more about giving securities.

Planned Gift and Income-Producing Opportunities
Continue your lifetime of support to GS through wills, charitable trusts, gift annuities, or Columbia's pooled income funds. Learn more about planned giving.
