To avoid this problem, please notify Michelle Lawrence, Gift Records Specialist, at 503-352-1575 or by email, with the specific details of the securities donation including the name of the donor, the name of the transferred security, the number of transferred shares and the intended use of the gift.
Make a Gift with an IRA Charitable Rollover
Consider utilizing your required minimum distribution (RMD) to support Pacific University. If you are 70.5 years or older, you can make a tax-free distribution from your IRA to Pacific. Any qualified contribution up to $100,000 counts toward your required minimum distribution. Your spouse may also make a qualified charitable distribution of up to $100,000. To make a gift from your IRA, contact your IRA custodian (Fidelity, Merrill Lynch, Schwab, Vanguard, etc.) and ask the representative to send a check in the amount you desire (up to $100,000) payable to Pacific University.
Please contact Jan Stricklin, senior associate vice president for principal and planned gifts, by email or call 503-352-2890 and provide the following information:
- Your name
- The amount of your check
- The name of the IRA custodian (Fidelity, Merrill Lynch, Schwab, Vanguard, etc.)
- If the gift is a restricted gift please describe the details
Make a Gift of Mutual Funds
Donors should plan ahead when making a gift using shares of mutual funds. The mutual fund process varies by company and individuals need to obtain the applicable transfer instructions. Mutual fund transfers take longer than a stock transfer and individuals should allow four to six weeks. Individuals wishing to make a year-end gift and want a tax credit in the current year should start the process no later than November of each year.
Please contact your mutual fund company and Jan Stricklin, senior associate vice president for principal and planned gifts, by email, or call 503-352-2890 at least one month in advance to facilitate the process. Please provide Pacific with the name of the mutual fund that you will be transferring shares from, the symbol or CUSIP, the number of shares, the expected dollar amount of the transfer and the intended use of the gift.
