UNRESTRICTED GIFTS

Unrestricted gifts, given with no restricted purpose, are especially encouraged. These give the University the flexibility to take advantage of special opportunities and to meet emergency needs. Income from unrestricted endowment funds will be used for priority needs determined by the University.

DESIGNATED GIFTS

Donors may designate gifts, including those for unrestricted use, for a particular academic division of the University. Gifts that are restricted for a specific use, such as scholarships, may also be designated for a particular college, department or program.

PLANNED GIFTS

Planned or deferred gifts allow donors to make a significant gift that will benefit UT in the future, typically at the donor’s or beneficiary’s death. The UT Foundation welcomes the opportunity to work with donors and their legal and financial advisers to establish planned gift arrangements.

In many cases, planned gifts offer donors substantial tax advantages and financial benefits, such as lowered estate tax liability or increased spendable income.  Donors should consult with their own advisers as to the specific tax consequences.

Mortar & Pestle Society

The Mortar & Pestle Society was established to help The University of Toledo College of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences meet its educational mission and its role in the profession and the community at large. In these times of dwindling public resources, the annual gifts of the Mortar & Pestle Society members are critical to college programs and continued excellence. Member gifts provide essential funds for scholarships, faculty research support, and programs. Members are regularly informed about important developments at the College and may also assist the College with their counsel.

Each member of the Mortar & Pestle Society agrees to a contribution of $10,000 payable to the College of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences Annual Fund over 10 years or less. UT employees can make gifts of $1,000 per year payable over a maximum of ten years, and non-employees of UT can make their gifts of $2,000 per year over five years to the College of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences.

Although cash contributions constitute the usual gift, gifts of appreciable securities, stocks, bonds, or real estate are encouraged and may offer certain tax advantages to donors. Most gifts will be unrestricted, allowing the College to respond quickly to changing needs; however, members may also designate their contributions for specific programs if they so desire. One hundred percent of a member's gift will be used for the sole benefit of the College of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences and will constitute a charitable contribution and be tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
