Employer Matching Gifts
Many employers offer the opportunity to match all or a portion of a donor’s gift to the university. In essence, a matching gift program can double or even triple the impact of a gift! If you or your company is participating in a matching gift program, please contact Executive Assistant for the Advancement Office, Sam Jessup at 920-565-1023 ext. 2161 or advancement@lakeland.edu to inform us that the matching gift will be made.
Appreciated Property (Stocks)
Giving long-term appreciated properties provides three potential ways for tax savings. For example, a gift of appreciated stock* will help you:
Finally, you can direct your gift towards a specific fund, scholarship, or program, just as you can with any other gift to Lakeland.
* All appreciated property must be long-term and owned for at least one year and a day. Always consult your personal tax advisor to learn how a gift of appreciated property can benefit both you and Lakeland University.
PLEASE NOTE: The value of your gift and the date of the gift are both determined by the date of the transfer, which is the date Lakeland University receives the appreciated property.
Donor-Advised Fund (DAF)
Streamline your giving through a tax-deductible gift to a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF), then disburse grants to Lakeland University.
To direct a grant you will need the following information to provide to your DAF manager:
Legal Name: Lakeland University
Address: W3718 South Drive, Plymouth, WI 53073
Federal Tax ID # 39-0821861

Qualified Charitable Distribution (IRA Charitable Rollover)
Are you over 70.5? Want to reduce your taxable income AND help support Lakeland University? Qualified charitable distributions (QCD) directly from an IRA are one of the most tax-savvy ways to give*.
*PLEASE NOTE: QCDs do not qualify for a charitable deduction but do avoid your taxable income, always consult your personal tax advisor to learn how a QCD can benefit both you and Lakeland University.
Planned Giving
Planned gifts, most often called "non-cash gifts," "net-worth gifts" or "deferred gifts," are generally given through a donor's asset base rather than with cash or discretionary income. Through planned gifts, people make provisions for the university during their lifetimes, but the university does not receive benefits until a future date.
Benefits of planned gifts may include:
