How to Give
The Many Ways to Give
ONLINE GIVING & EVENT TICKET PURCHASES
Giving to Lander and event registration has never been easier! Your gift or ticket
purchases can be made using a credit card with our online form. For Tickets,
input the event name and all names in your party within the "Gift Comment"
section. To contribute to a named scholarship, input the specific
scholarship within the "Gift Comment" section.
If you do not want to use our online giving process, you may call the Lander Foundation at
864-388-8350. Our office staff will be happy to take your credit card information and process
your donation or ticket purchases.
CASH/CHECKS
In order to properly record gifts, donors should use checks made payable to:
The Lander Foundation
Lander University
320 Stanley Avenue
Campus Box 6004
Greenwood, South Carolina 29649
SECURITIES
Listed stocks and bonds that have increased in value are excellent gifts, assuming the
securities have been held for the required length of time.
REAL ESTATE
Property that has increased in value is a wise donation because the full value of the gift is
tax deductible. The donor's profit will not be taxable as gain.
LIFE INSURANCE
The cash-surrendered value of a life insurance policy is immediately tax deductible.
Later gifts made to pay the premium are also deductible. More importantly, the donor has the
satisfaction of providing The Lander Foundation with a sizeable gift.
TRUSTS AND ANNUITIES
Cash, marketable securities, or real estate may be used to establish a charitable trust or
annuity from which the donor would receive income for life. Upon the donor's death, the
assets would go to The Lander Foundation.
BEQUESTS
Gifts willed to The Lander Foundation are of mutual benefit to The Foundation and the
donor.

If your company is eligible, request a matching gift form from your employer, and send it
completed and signed with your gift. We will do the rest. The impact of your gift to our school may
be doubled or possibly tripled! Some companies match gifts made by retirees and/or spouses.
