To see if your or your spouse's, company has such a program, contact your human resources department or click here. Through these programs, a company or foundation supports the charitable organizations supported by its employees, generally on a dollar-for-dollar basis

Gifts of Stock or Securities:

Many donors to Stevens Institute of Technology make outright gifts in the form of appreciated securities rather than cash in order to benefit from extra tax advantages. You avoid paying a tax on capital gains which you would owe if you sold the securities. These gifts are also tax deductible. If you are interested in making a gift of stock or securities, please refer to either the Stock Transfer Verification form or Gifting Securities form . Forms may be mailed or faxed to the Jamie Schmeelk in the Office of Advancement at 201.216.8247.

Gifts of Closely Held Stock:

If you own stock in a closely held corporation, you can use such stock to make a gift to Stevens Institute of Technology that will bring you substantial tax benefits. There are a number of strategies you can use to structure the gift according to your circumstances.

Planned Gifts:

In planning your estate, remember that valuable collections and other forms of tangible personal property may be subject to estate taxes. By donating such items (if they are related to Stevens' education mission) during your lifetime rather than at your death, you not only reduce your taxable estate but also reduce your taxable income in the year of the gift.

Other ways to make a gift

Stevens has several opportunities to designate your gift to a certain program or fund such as Stevens Althetics , your Anniversary/Reunion , or perhaps a naming opportunity such as that with the Babbio Center for Technology Management.

Get involved

Each year the Office of Advancement works with volunteers to assist in raising much needed funds to improve facilities provide financial support to our students and build the endowment. Among other activities, alumni and friends of Stevens are always encouraged to become telethon volunteers for the annual fall and spring telethons, serve on reunion class giving committees, and participate on any of a number of advisory boards.
