Give a Non-Cash Gift

Gifts of Stock

Shares of publicly traded companies and mutual funds may be transferred electronically to Moravian University through Cornerstone Advisors Asset Management. If you have owned a stock for more than 12 months and it has appreciated in value, gift your stock to Moravian to avoid the capital gains tax and claim an income tax deduction.

Gifts In-Kind or Gifts of Property/Real Estate

Moravian University welcomes in-kind gifts or gifts of real estate or other property; however, these gifts must fit within the stated mission of the university.

Qualified Charitable Distribution

Giving a qualified charitable distribution, or QCD, is a special opportunity for our supporters 70½ or older. You can give any amount (up to a maximum of $100,000) per year from your IRA directly to a qualified charity, such as Moravian University, and avoid having to pay income taxes on those dollars.

Other Legacy Gifts

Thoughtful planning to create your legacy can provide special benefits for you, your loved ones, and Moravian University now and/or later.
