Donor-Advised Fund

Giving from your donor‑advised fund is a simple way to support UVM using charitable dollars you’ve already set aside. You can recommend a gift when the moment feels right and direct it to the people or programs you care about most.

Gifts of Stock or Securities

Gifting appreciated stock is a tax‑efficient way to support UVM using assets you already own. You may avoid capital gains taxes while putting more of your gift to work for the people and programs you care about most.

Planned Giving / Legacy Gifts

Legacy giving allows you to support UVM in a way that fits your long‑term financial plans. Many donors choose to do this through a bequest, beneficiary designation, a qualified charitable distribution, or other estate and tax-wise giving options.
