At University Hospitals, giving comes in many forms. Following are some of the most common assets people give to support the mission and vision of University Hospitals:

Cash
Gifts of cash can be deducted against a larger portion of your taxable income than can gifts of appreciated property. Cash is the simplest medium for a donation, and provides us immediate benefits. Your gift can be made to us outright, or can fund one of our life income arrangements.

Appreciated Securities
Using appreciated securities to make your gift can deliver more tax benefits to you than using cash. Download our stock donation form.

Business Interests
Whether you are an entrepreneur, participant in a professional corporation, or member of a family business, giving business interests is a wonderful way to support UH while also saving both income and capital gains tax.

Personal Property
Giving personal property, such as artwork, books and other collectibles, may be more beneficial than continuing to maintain them.

Real Estate
University Hospitals is happy to conside gifts of residential, commercial and undeveloped real estate. As with donations of other types of appreciated property, gifts of real estate secure a charitable income tax deduction for you, based on the fair market value of the property, with no capital gains liability for the transfer to us.

Retirement Plans
We offer a wise, charitable alternative to the double taxation awaiting your retirement plan (e.g., 401(k), 403(b), Keogh, and SEP) in your estate.
