MATCHING
Many employers will double or even triple your donation. _____
NOTE: These are some of the naming opportunities. Please inquire if you don’t see something that interests you. You may, of course, make an unrestricted/undesignated gift. You may wish to associate your name with a faculty member. Gifts may be combined for naming purposes (i.e., Smith/Jones Exam Room). You may make a gift in honor or memory of a loved one. Gifts may be in cash, pledges payable over five years (or longer under special circumstances), securities, real estate, or other giving vehicles. You may discover that you can make a substantial gift through planned giving or that you may increase the value of your gift by requesting matching funds through your employer.
Please contact the HudsonAlpha Foundation (256.327.9446 or support@hudsonalpha.org) if you have any questions.
Today, planned gifts are more important than ever to HudsonAlpha’s sustained future. Planned giving is any major gift that involves financial or estate planning. The Double Helix Society is the recognition society for individuals who have chosen to make planned gifts to the HudsonAlpha Foundation.
Cash and securities
A gift of cash is the most popular way of supporting the HudsonAlpha Foundation. Gifts of cash are ordinarily tax deductible up to 50% of your adjusted gross income in the year of your contribution.
Readily marketable appreciated securities are the second most commonly donated asset to the HudsonAlpha Foundation. When you donate appreciated securities, you generally do not incur any capital gains tax. You also may be eligible to receive a federal income tax charitable deduction (up to 30% of your adjusted gross income).
Bequests
Charitable remainder trusts
Charitable lead trusts
Retirement plan assets
Life insurance policies
Tangible personal property
Reduce your cost of giving
A gift of stock or securities (stock, bonds, mutual funds) is a wonderful way to share your hope for the future. Your gift can provide you with significant tax and financial benefits while helping a cause you love.
If you have questions or would like our assistance in the process, please feel free to contact us at the HudsonAlpha Foundation at 256.327.9446.
Making a donation in honor or in memory of someone is an extremely meaningful way of advancing the mission of HudsonAlpha, while paying tribute to a loved one. Tribute gifts provide important support to our scientists in their journeys of DISCOVERY, accelerating their efforts to improve human health and quality of life. When you make a gift in honor of a friend, family member, colleague or neighbor, we send the honoree a card advising him or her of your thoughtful gift. If yours is a memorial gift, we send a similar card to the person’s family.
There are three ways you can make a tribute gift:
- Online
- By calling the HudsonAlpha Foundation at 256.327.9446
- Mail a check and tribute information to:
