What are the tax benefits of making a gift to the University of Wisconsin-Madison?
Cash gifts are tax deductible, and generally, the actual cost of your gift will be reduced by the tax benefit. A gift of securities allows you to make a gift to the School of Business and receive a charitable deduction equal to the full fair market value of the securities. You pay no capital gains tax on your gift nor does the Foundation if the securities are sold. A member of the UW Foundation staff would be happy to meet with you, at no obligation, to answer your questions about charitable contributions. In addition to Foundation assistance, we recommend that you consult with an attorney or accountant for the legal and tax implications of any gift you make to charity.
