Ways to Give
There are many different ways to make a gift to the College of Education. Most gifts that come to a given school at the University of South Carolina come through the USC Educational Foundation. The Foundations sets up the fund the donor wants to create and manages these funds. If a gift of property is made, these funds are handled through the Development Foundation.
Some gifts made to the College of Education can be used to help the College immediately and other gifts are deferred and can give you significant tax benefits and income too. Gifts can be made in the form of cash, certificates of deposit, stocks and bonds, mutual funds, real estate or personal property such as works of art, software, rare books and manuscripts. These types of gifts offer different tax benefits and it is wise to consult your attorney or financial advisor as to the best method of giving. Click here to make your gift online.
