Gifts of Assets

Securities

In addition to providing a significant gift, donating long-term appreciated securities enables you to avoid potential capital gain taxes and receive a charitable income tax deduction.

Life Insurance

By naming MidAmerica as the beneficiary of your life insurance, or by donating a paid-up life insurance policy to MNU, you can multiply the value of your gift many times over.

Retirement Plan Assets

Using retirement plan assets is a tax-wise way to make a gift to MidAmerica. Since MidAmerica is a tax-exempt organization, the retirement plan assets avoid both estate and income taxes, thus preserving more of the asset for the support of the ministry of the university.

Real Estate

Gifts of appreciated real estate can have especially attractive tax benefits. Real estate does not have to be donated outright, but can be transferred to a charitable remainder trust to provide you with lifetime income.
