Including UTSA in your estate plan

Gifts through the University of Texas Foundation

If your gift to UTSA must be made to a 501(c)3 organization, then the University of Texas Foundation (opens in new tab), a public charity, may accept those gifts on behalf of UTSA and will forward your gift to us in full. Please contact us (opens in new tab) for more information.

Gifts of Stock and Securities

One of the biggest tax advantages in charitable giving continues to be the double benefit donors get when donating appreciated assets to UTSA instead of cash. By giving appreciated assets (like stocks held for more than one year), you’ll get a charitable tax deduction for the full value of the asset and avoid any capital gains tax that would have applied if you had sold the stock and made your gift in cash.
