Corporations and businesses encourage philanthropic behavior and enhance the impact of employee generosity with matching gift programs. Depending on your individual company's policy, your gift for K-State could be increased one to three times for each dollar you contribute.

Please note that all matching gift companies will only match the tax-deductible portion of a gift (i.e. priority seating contributions are not tax-deductible).
 

GIFTS OF SECURITIES

Gift of appreciated securities, stocks, and bonds provide considerable tax advantages for donors. Please note that a gift of securities, stocks, and bonds can only be accepted for tax-deductible gifts (i.e. priority seating contributions are not tax-deductible). Please consult your tax advisor for more information. Click here to learn how to make a gift. 
 

PLANNED GIFTS

A planned or deferred gift can offer substantial tax and estate planning benefits and allows you to make a larger and more lasting impact to K-State. It can be a gift K-State Athletics receives now or in the future, and is also a way to be a key supporter while meeting your own financial goals. Planned gifts to the Ahearn Fund can be made through charitable trusts, gift annuities, bequests, and life insurance. 
 

DONOR-ADVISED FUNDS, PRIVATE FOUNDATIONS AND IRA's

Donor-advised funds, private foundations, and IRA's are accepted, but cannot be used for priority seating contributions where benefits are received. Please consult your tax advisor for more information. 

GIFTS OF GRAIN

In gifting grain, producers easily maximize their impact by transferring the grain directly to the beneficiary and excluding the crop sale from their income while still deducting the production costs, which can have very beneficial tax advantages to the producer.
