There are many giving opportunities available, with varying tax incentives. The most common options include:

• Cash, check or online credit card.
  A gift of cash is the easiest and most common way of supporting the Campaign for Angus. Simply make your check payable to the Angus Foundation. For added convenience, use your Visa® or MasterCard® or Discover® to make a gift at www.angusfoundation.org
• Cash Pledge.
  Pledging a gift in monthly, quarterly or annual installments may offer you the opportunity to make a larger campaign contribution than a one-time gift, because you can spread it out over time.
• Securities.
  Stocks, bonds, mutual funds and other appreciated securities also make excellent campaign gifts and may help you avoid capital gains taxes that would be incurred by selling the appreciated asset.
• Real Estate.
  Gifts of appreciated real estate can also be an attractive way to avoid capital gains taxes, while providing you with the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to the future of Angus education, youth and research activities.
• Planned Giving.
  Deferred giving can be an appealing way to contribute to the campaign today while retaining future use of your assets during your lifetime. Forms of planned giving include bequests, retained life estates, life insurance and charitable remainder trusts.

Whichever option you choose, you can either give your gift as unrestricted so that it can be directed to the area where it is needed most, or you can specify your favorite Angus Foundation program to support.

The Angus Foundation's donor appreciation program recognizes every supporter, starting at just $1. All donors are recognized in the Angus Foundation's annual report, Web site and "Foundation for the Future" newsletter. Additional benefits and forms of recognition are offered at each of the 14 giving levels described at Donor Recognition.
