Matching gifts - double or even triple your gift's impact on Cornell! Many companies offer a match for their employees' charitable giving. Best of all, you are recognized for the full amount of your own gift plus any resulting corporate match. Please inquire about matching gifts at giving@cornellcollege.edu.
Stock or appreciated assets - for many, a stock portfolio is one of their most valuable assets, and one that can carry substantial appreciation over time. A charitable contribution of appreciated securities that you have held for more than one year is simple and entitles you to a double tax benefit: you receive a charitable deduction for the full current market value of the stock, and you avoid the capital gains tax on the appreciation. Find instructions for transferring securities to Cornell.
