Since 1954, King’s University has been developing ethical changemakers who lead with integrity and make a positive impact on the world. By leaving a legacy gift, you help ensure that our students continue to receive a transformative education that prepares them to tackle the challenges of tomorrow. Your generosity will support the next generation of leaders, scholars, and innovators, empowering them to create meaningful change for the greater good.
Legacy donors are a community of generous individuals who believe in the transformative power of education. By choosing to leave a legacy gift to King’s, you are helping shape the future of education and providing vital support for the students and programs that will tackle tomorrow’s challenges.
Choosing to make a legacy gift is a deeply personal and impactful decision. At King’s, we are committed to helping you plan a gift that aligns with your values and goals. Our Legacy Gift Planning Team is here to provide guidance, simple tools, and all the information you need to create a meaningful and lasting legacy at King’s University.
Planned giving offers a flexible and simple way to contribute, no matter where you are in life. You can direct your gift to an area at King’s that matters most to you, or you can allow us to allocate it to the university’s highest priority needs. Here are four popular ways our donors have made legacy gifts:
A gift of publicly traded securities is one of the most tax-effective ways to support King's University, either now or through your will.
Donating shares, bonds, bills, warrants, futures, or units of mutual funds listed on a prescribed public stock exchange directly to King's may eliminate the tax on associated capital gains. If you choose to sell appreciated securities during your lifetime or if these assets are liquidated through your estate, tax must be paid on 50% of the capital gains. Note that the 2024 Federal Budget increased the capital gains inclusion rate for gains realized after June 25, 2024, from 50% to 66.67% on capital gains exceeding $250,000. The capital gains tax advantage also applies to donations of publicly traded shares acquired through employee stock options, if the shares are donated within 30 days of exercising the stock options.
Please see the gifts of securities authorization form for how to donate your stocks and securities.
