The donor-advised fund (DAF) is becoming an increasingly popular way to make a charitable gift. DAFs can provide you with immediate tax benefits while making your charitable giving easier. Here are two simple ways you can make a gift through your DAF:

  • Make an outright gift by suggesting a grant to American International College.
  • Designate American International College to receive all or a portion of the fund value upon the termination of the fund.

Securities are a great vehicle, as donors most often avoid capital gains tax and may be able to claim an income tax deduction as well. Please follow these stock transfer instructions.

Increase the impact of your gift! Many employers will match non-profit donations made by their employees. If you or your spouse are affiliated with a company or organization that has a matching gift program, please register your gift on your company’s website (if the company uses an online system) or mail in a Matching Gift form (if the company uses a paper-based system) to the Office of Institutional Advancement at AIC.

Without a firm cornerstone, a building could not stand, nor an institution last very long. The cornerstone ensures a firm foundation that leads to a lasting tomorrow. Through the years a number of alumni and friends of American International College have become members of The Cornerstone Society by securing the future of AIC by endowing a gift or including the College in their estate plans.

In recognition of their selflessness and dedication to the College, members of The Cornerstone Society receive an invitation to a special gathering each year, and often receive advance notice of events happening either on campus or in their area of the country.

To learn more, contact alumni@aic.edu or call 413.205.3520.
