Gift PlanningAppreciated Securities

Support Jackrabbits

Instead of writing a check to support SDSU, you can first look to your portfolio and visit with your financial advisor to see if making a gift of appreciated securities might work better for you.

Contact Ned Gavlick or Sara Schneider at the SDSU Alumni & Foundation’s Office of Gift Planning at (605) 697-7475 or by email to get things started.

Creating a Stream of Extra Income in Retirement 

Perhaps you want to sell some of your appreciated stock portfolio, but you do not want to incur a hefty capital gains tax. Additionally, you want to support South Dakota State University. 

By creating a charitable remainder unitrust or charitable remainder annuity trust for yourself, or potentially you and your spouse, you can: 

  • Add additional income for yourself.
  • Receive a sizeable charitable tax deduction.
  • Support the SDSU Alumni & Foundation and other charities. 

Including the SDSU Alumni & Foundation As a Beneficiary

You can also include the SDSU Alumni & Foundation as a beneficiary of your financial account, allowing you to support SDSU through a legacy gift.
