Gifts of Securities Gifts of appreciated marketable stocks have been considered the ‘best value’ in charitable giving. When you contribute appreciated securities that you have held for longer than one year, in addition to a charitable contribution tax deduction, you are generally able to avoid paying capital gains tax on the increase in value of the assets. We liquidate gifts of stock as quickly as possible to preserve value. The proceeds, minus any broker fees/commissions, are allocated according to donor direction. To make your gift, and to ensure that you receive proper acknowledgement and documentation, please refer to our detailed instructions on transferring the following types of assets: Securities held by broker — electronic transfer Stock certificates you hold — physical transfer We recommend that you consult your tax adviser for more information regarding the gift tax and income tax results of such gifts as they apply to your specific situation. The Foundation does not provide donors with individual tax advice. If you would like to discuss the potential use of your gift of securities, please contact the university development staff member in your area of interest, email University Advancement at stewardship@uoregon.edu or call 541.346.2113 . To make a gift via stock, please complete the Stock Transfer Form .

Back to Gifts of Securities ​​Stock Certificates You Hold Stock Certificate Changed to the Foundation's Name Donors should instruct their broker or company, as the case may be, to reissue a physical stock certificate in the name of the Foundation. Please note it is crucial for the certificates to only be reissued in the name of "University of Oregon Foundation". Once the certificate has been re-issued, the new certificate should be mailed directly to the Foundation at the following address: University of Oregon Foundation 1720 E. 13th Avenue, Suite 410 Eugene, OR 97403-1905 Please include a letter of instruction stating the purpose for the gift. The gift valuation date is the date stamped on the security. Stock Certificate Remains in the Donor's Name The donor (without endorsing the stock certificate) can mail the stock certificate to the Foundation. On the same day, the donor must separately mail a signed Irrevocable Stock Power Form with a signature guarantee by a bank or a broker, and a Third-Party Release Form. If the stock is registered in the name of a corporation, the Foundation will also need a corporate resolution authorizing the transfer. Please include a letter of instruction stating the purpose for the gift. If mailed, the gift valuation date is the postmarked date on the envelope. If sent via a private carrier (e.g., FedEx, UPS) or hand-delivered, the gift valuation date is the date that the Foundation receives the certificate.

Gifts of Real Estate A gift of real estate provides a lasting benefit to the university while relieving you of the responsibilities of property ownership/liquidation and generating a charitable deduction and other tax advantages. These gifts could include residences, vacation homes, farms, forest land, commercial property, income producing property, or undeveloped land. Typically, gifts of real estate are sold as soon as practically and prudently possible to meet your needs and directives. Not only can real estate be used to make an outright gift or bequest, but it can also be used to fund a charitable remainder trust or charitable gift annuity. A trust or annuity can provide you and/or another beneficiary with income for the rest of your life or lives. Ultimately, the remaining value is transferred to the Foundation to benefit the university as you have specified. For more information on using real estate to fund a trust or annuity, or to make a bequest of real estate, please visit University Office of Gift Planning , or call 800.289.2354 or 541.346.1687 . ​ The Foundation evaluates all potential gifts of real estate for marketability and potential environmental concerns. We ask donors to supply detailed information on the property before we accept the gift. All costs of the due diligence process are paid by the Foundation. If the gift is accepted, the donor is separately responsible for obtaining and paying for a qualified appraisal as required by the IRS. For More Information If you have questions about the gift acceptance and due diligence process, call 541.302.0300 or please contact our Gift Services Department at giftservicesdept@uofoundation.org .

Gifts of Cryptocurrency The University of Oregon Foundation accepts multiple forms of cryptocurrency in addition to Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). Additional accepted cryptocurrencies can be displayed in a dropdown list by clicking "Other crypto options" . ​ To support the University of Oregon with a donation of cryptocurrency, please use the form provided by The Giving Block, our cryptocurrency partner. Please use the "Donation Notes" field to designate the area or fund you would like to support, or indicate any other special instructions. Why Donate Cryptocurrency? For donors in the United States, the IRS has classified cryptocurrency as a form of property for tax purposes.

Please consult your tax adviser for more information. ​ Gift Acceptance In accordance with our Gift Acceptance Policy, all contributions of cryptocurrency are converted to cash immediately upon acceptance and cannot be refunded for any reason. While we are happy to honor requests for anonymity, we require that all donors identify themselves when making a charitable contribution. ​ IMPORTANT Please only send the exact cryptocurrency you have selected.
