Ways to Make a Gift
Remember, Teachers College's fiscal year runs September 1 through August 31.
Most Common Ways to Make a Gift
Cash:
To make a cash gift to Teachers College, send your personal check to:
Teachers College
525 West 120 th Street
Box 306
New York , NY 10027
A gift of cash is recorded for tax purposes on the date it is hand-delivered or post-marked. Please note on the memo line of your check that your gift is for the Teachers College Fund.
Credit Cards:Many donors earn valuable rewards for credit card activity, and Teachers College gladly accepts VISA, MasterCard, Discover and American Express. To make a credit card gift, use our online giving form or call the Office of Development at (212)678-8176 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. (eastern). Be prepared to provide your account number and expiration date.
Appreciated stocks or securities:
Securities
such as stocks, bonds and mutual funds make a wonderful gift and the
tax savings to the donor can be significant. Making a gift of long-term
(held over 12 months) appreciated securities or mutual funds to
Teachers College may help you to avoid capital gains tax. In addition,
the gift gives the donor who itemizes deductions an income tax
charitable deduction for the full fair market value of the securities (subject to certain limitations) .
You can make a gift in memory or in honor of a friend or loved one. Teachers College will inform the individual or their family about your gift and how it will benefit the Teachers College community.
Matching Gifts:
If you or your spouse work
for a company that makes corporate matching gifts, your contribution to
TC can be doubled or even tripled. Contact your human resources office
to find out if they take part in a matching gift program.
