Ideas and Strategies from the Office of Gift Planning at Princeton University

Making a List, Checking it Twice

Skip Fox ’75

Preparing your end-of-year checklist? Don’t forget the many ways to give to Princeton, says 1746 Society member and estate planning expert Skip Fox ’75:

  • Give appreciated stocks, bonds and mutual funds. You get an income tax deduction for full market value — and eliminate capital gains tax.
  • Convert market gains to income with a Princeton life income gift. Submit a Generations reply form to request your personalized illustration of life income gift benefits.
  • Decrease your taxable income with a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) from your IRA, if you are over age 70 1/2.

Contact the Gift Planning team at 609-258-6318 for more information and to learn about the Annual Giving Legacy program.
