Thoughtful planning can affirm your commitment to UVM and enhance your financial plan at the same time. Selecting the right asset for your Campaign gift can increase tax savings dramatically. For example, a gift of appreciated stock can avoid the cap­ital gains tax that would be due if the stock were sold and the proceeds given to charity. The timing of your gift can be as important as the assets you select. For instance, an income tax charitable deduction may help mitigate the tax impact of a bonus or the exercise of stock options if your gift is made in the appropriate tax year. You can structure your contribution to The Campaign for the University of Vermont in a number of ways.
