Outright "Current" Gifts
Cash Gifts
A gift of cash is the easiest way of giving to the Pharmacy Foundation. An unrestricted gift to be used for priority needs is of great benefit. Gifts may also be designated. Without designation, your gift will be unrestricted for use where the need or opportunity is the greatest. Your gift is tax deductible and is immediately available to the Pharmacy Foundation to support the College of Pharmacy. For your convenience, complete the Gift Contribution Form.
Pledges
A pledge represents support for the present and a confidence that the future will offer even more for the profession of pharmacy. With your pledge for a future gift, we will send you a friendly reminder for the pledge period you select on the Gift Contribution Form.
Memorial and Tribute Gifts
Any gift may be designated as a memorial or tribute of a relative or friend. The loss of a loved one or a special event in one's life may provide an opportunity to make one of the most meaningful types of gifts to the Pharmacy Foundation. Select one of the following to honor the memory of a loved one or celebrate the accomplishment of a friend or family member and support the College of Pharmacy with your generous donation.
Memorial Gifts
Upon the loss of a loved one, some families prefer to have gifts directed to charitable organizations in lieu of flowers. Southwestern Pharmacy Alumni Foundation, Inc. gratefully receives such gifts in memory of alumni, students, faculty, staff and friends of the College of Pharmacy. Donors will be acknowledged by the Pharmacy Foundation, and the family members will be notified of the names and addresses of all individuals who make memorial gifts.
Tribute Gifts
Class reunions, retirements, special anniversaries, and birthdays are times when you may choose to direct charitable gifts to the Pharmacy Foundation. Such a tribute provides a meaningful, living gift to a friend, relative or colleague by honoring a special occasion. Donors will be acknowledged by the Pharmacy Foundation, and individuals being honored will be notified of all gifts made in their honor.
Corporate Matching Gifts
Many corporations encourage employees to participate in philanthropic opportunities by matching, doubling, or even tripling each dollar you contribute to the Pharmacy Foundation. Your company's personnel department can provide details and the matching gift form to include with your gift contribution. For more information, see our Gift Contribution Form.
Gifts of Securities
Common stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and other appreciated securities may be donated to the Southwestern Pharmacy Alumni Foundation. Depending upon the circumstances, the Pharmacy Foundation will either manage or liquidate the securities to achieve the donor's goals. A popular benefit of such a gift beyond the charitable income tax deduction is the avoidance, in most cases, of capital gains tax on the appreciation. It is almost always to your advantage to transfer appreciated securities to the Pharmacy Foundation directly, rather than selling them and giving cash.
