Gift of Securities
A substantial tax advantage may be available to you if you give securities that have appreciated significantly in value, especially when the tax deduction for the gift at fair market value and the probable avoidance of capital gains taxes are taken into account.

When making a gift of securities to Savannah College of Art and Design, contact the director of major gifts. It is extremely important to have complete donor information, including name, address and phone number, as well as the name and type of securities to be gifted, the number of shares, and the date you intend to make the gift.

Planned Giving
Providing for the future well-being of family, while simultaneously supporting SCAD, can be accomplished by a variety of gifts known as planned gifts. Planned gifts, such as bequests, life insurance policies and retirement plan assets, among others, allow for maximizing the current and future benefit to both family and SCAD. Contact the director of major gifts for more information

Real Estate
If you own property that is fully paid off and has appreciated in value, an outright gift may be the simplest solution. You can potentially deduct the fair market value of your gift, avoid all capital gains taxes and remove that asset from your taxable estate. You can transfer the deed of your home, land or farm to us now and keep the right to use the property for your lifetime and that of your spouse. Contact the office of institutional advancement for more information.

Tangible Personal Property
Many individuals have given sculptures, paintings, book collections, animation collections, furniture collections and more to SCAD. The Jen Library, Red Gallery, Pei Ling Chan Garden for the Arts and Savannah Gallery would not have their quality collections without gifts of personal property from our donors. For more information, contact the office of institutional advancement.

Matching Gifts
Many companies sponsor matching gift programs to encourage employees to support their colleges and universities. Most companies match dollar for dollar, and some will double- or triple-match donors’ gifts. Simply obtain a matching gift form from your employer, complete and sign it, and mail it along with your gift to the address below.
