Annual Giving The success of the annual giving program at LDS Business College depends on regular gifts from many different individuals. Gifts of all sizes are welcome. Annual giving helps students continue their education while improving the quality of that education. It also creates an important, ongoing partnership, between you and our school, to bless future generations. Through annual giving you have an opportunity to financially help: · Cover unbudgeted, but meaningful contingencies. · Create additional, ever-important scholarships and grants-in-aid. · Accelerate the realization of board-approved goals and priorities.

Your association with LDS Business College makes you a part of wonderful group of valued alumni, friends, and supporters who are literally helping change the lives of an ever-increasing number of students each year.

We hope that an important, ongoing partnership will also develop between you and the College, blessing future generations with the opportunity to gain the kind of education unique to LDS Business College.

Gifts Come in Different Packages
A gift to LDS Business College does not need to be large to make a big difference in the lives of the students who attend. To make the most of your donation, you should consider the following types of gifts:

Unrestricted Gift
An unrestricted gift places your confidence in the president and the Board of Trustees to use the money where the need is presently greatest. It puts vital tools in their hands to take advantage of critical opportunities in a timely manner.

Restricted Gift
A restricted gift is one you designate for a specific LDS Business College program or goal, allowing you to support an area of particular interest to you.

Outright Gift
Outright gifts include cash, real estate, and negotiable securities. Many people—even those of modest means—find they can give in this way. It is the most common, direct, and simple type of gift. To make an outright gift of cash or by credit or debit card, click here.

Endowed Gift
An endowed gift establishes a more permanent and perpetual funding source because only a percentage of the original gift amount (usually the interest earned) is used each year. It is established for a program of your choice and can be named for a loved one whose memory you wish to perpetuate.

Deferred or Planned Gifts
Deferred or planned gifts come in several different forms, all of which not only provide long-term benefits for students, but for the benefactor as well. In addition to the personal blessings that may come to you as a result of your selfless generosity, substantial temporal benefits are also possible. With most, you will receive a lifetime income and significant tax advantages.

The additional benefits could be significant and might allow you to:
· Put your financial house in order.
· Turn your non-income producing holdings into income-producing assets.
· Increase your disposable income.
· Have your assets managed by a professional trustee.
· Secure financial peace of mind for spouse and family.
· Ensure that your estate is settled the way you choose.
· Guide the use of your assets after death.
· Reduce gift and estate taxes for your spouse and children.

There are Different Ways to Share

Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT)
Electronic funds transfer (EFT) allows you to authorize your bank to automatically transfer a specified amount from your checking account to LDS Business College on a monthly basis. Gifts of $10, $25, $50, $100 (or whatever you choose) may be easier on your monthly budget than one, large sum, but your commitment adds up considerably over time.

Matching Gifts
Through matching gifts, you may be able to double or even triple your gift to LDS Business College with a simple call.
