Ways to Give

Cash

The most common form of a gift is cash. It can be given in the form of a check or credit card. You can also make a pledge over a five-year period. The CSM Foundation can charge your credit card at your request.

Securities

You can transfer or liquidate publicly-traded stocks or bonds as a gift to the college. The easiest way to make the transfer is to work with your financial advisor and the Vice President of Advancement.

Will

You can identify a specific amount, asset or percentage of your will or trust to the CSM Foundation. This can be done by working with your lawyer. Please make sure that you identify the CSM Foundation, Inc. as the recipient.

Life Insurance Policy

Name the CSM Foundation, Inc. as the beneficiary of a life insurance policy or pension. You can establish a new policy or name CSM as a beneficiary of an existing one.

Charitable Gift Annuities

Consider establishing a life income gift that will provide current income to you or a loved one while providing significant tax benefits. Your gift may allow you to:

  • Bypass capital gains tax
  • Claim a charitable income tax deduction
  • Establish a lifetime income stream
