Gifts of Securities
You can make your gift to the Institute by contributing appreciated assets - such as stocks, bonds, mutual funds, or real estate. Your tax advantages are maximized if you donate appreciated assets that you've owned for more than one year. You obtain an income tax charitable deduction for the full current market value of the asset, and you avoid the capital gains tax that you would have paid if you sold the asset outright.
Please call the Office of Development at 212-992-5804.

Planned Gifts
Planned giving is a unique philanthropic tool that allows you to promote the Institute’s continued excellence while also fulfilling your own financial objectives.
The University's Office of Planned Giving welcomes the opportunity to work with you and your advisors in planning your gift to the Institute. We can provide sample language for your review in establishing your gift, as well as calculations and illustrations of the tax and income benefits you may enjoy from your gift. If you have provided for the University in your will or trust, you are eligible for membership in The Society of the Torch, and will receive, in addition to other benefits, the Torchlight newsletter, an informative newsletter about planned giving.
For more information about planned giving, or to notify NYU of a planned gift that you have already arranged, please contact:
