In addition to cash and cash equivalents, there are many other ways to give to Principia:
Gifts of appreciated securities (shares of stock, mutual funds, and bonds) can provide tax advantages by allowing a donor to avoid capital gains tax and receive a full income tax deduction for the full fair market value of the gift. For instructions, call our development administrative coordinator at 314.514.3138 or 800.218.7746, ext. 3138.
Donations of tangible personal property—artwork, books, equipment, collections, and other personal property—may be appropriate gifts. If you would like to donate personal property to Principia, please contact Principia at 314.275.3582 or 800.218.7746, ext. 3582. Some gifts require appraisal or advance approval before they can be accepted.
Donors may give gifts of real estate, such as a principal residence or vacation home, farm, commercial building, subdivision lot, or unimproved land. The gift may be the entire property or a fractional interest in the property. All real estate gifts require prior approval by Principia. Contact Larry Harrison at 314.514.3116 or 800.218.7746, ext. 3116, to discuss the approval process or to learn more.
Principia has long received generous financial support from alumni and friends through a variety of planned giving programs that offer tax and income advantages to individual donors today while also perpetuating Principia beyond the donor's lifetime. Click here to explore planned giving options.
