Give Through Your Donor Advised Fund
A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a centralized charitable account. It allows charitably-inclined individuals, families, and businesses to make tax-deductible charitable donations of cash, publicly-traded stock and in some case, certain illiquid assets, to a public charity that sponsors a DAF program.
Give a Planned Gift
A planned or legacy gift is a donation that is designated for an organization at a future date, often at the time of death through a will. This gift is made through a formal financial or estate plan.
Matching Gifts
Did you know that your generosity to Rockford University has the potential to be doubled or even tripled? If you work for a company that matches gifts made to educational institutions, it’s easy to have your gift matched.
