How to help
Annual Giving
Supporting The Land-Grant Mission
Thousands of friends support Bumpers College through annual gifts to the college fund.
Annual philanthropy provides immediate support to departments, faculty and students.
Gifts create a significant fund essential to the dean when faced with increased student
need and unbudgeted opportunities to support faculty and student excellence. All gifts,
regardless of amount, help fund our daily mission and support the land-grant mission.
Major Giving
Transforming the College
Establishing an endowment is a profound and enduring decision leaving a lasting legacy
providing unwavering support. The U of A Foundation manages endowed funds, generating
annual income ensuring our students, faculty and programs receive vital resources
for success. More than financial contributions, endowments are powerful legacies that
honor your generosity, and inspire students and faculty to strive for their ultimate
potential. They are a reminder of the many successful leaders who have walked our
halls and invested in Bumpers College’s future.
Planned Giving
Leaving a Legacy
Making a planned or deferred gift turns dreams into degrees, sparks innovation and
creates a lasting legacy of opportunity and hope for future generations. This type
of impact is possible by using your estate and other planned giving options to extend
your generosity further than you imagined. Reach out to learn more about donor advised
funds, qualified charitable distributions, gifts in wills or estates, gift annuities
and other options.
Gifts of Stock or Property
Donating appreciated stock, real estate or farmland is a powerful way to support Bumpers
College while maximizing your financial benefits. By giving assets that have increased
in value, you may avoid capital gains taxes and receive a charitable deduction for
the full fair market value of your gift.
Gifts of farmland or other real estate provide long-term support. Whether you donate
land outright or through a retained life estate, your legacy will help sustain the
next generation of agricultural leaders.
Gifts of Grain Commodities
Farmers can make a lasting impact on the future of agriculture by donating a portion
of their grain harvest to Bumpers College. This unique and tax-efficient way of giving
allows you to support student scholarships, research and innovation while potentially
reducing your taxable income.
By donating grain directly to the college instead of selling it first, you may avoid
recognizing it as taxable income, which can lower your overall adjusted gross income
(AGI). This can result in potential savings on federal and state income taxes, self-employment
taxes and even allow for more flexibility in tax planning.
Corporate and Foundation Support
Supporting Our Mission with Your Brand
The college is dedicated to providing transformative education equipping faculty and
alumni to enrich their communities and contribute to industry through various career
paths. We recognize the crucial role corporations and community foundations have on
our success, and development and support of our national and local communities.
