Other Ways to Give

Ohio Dominican appreciates in-kind gifts such as works of art, equipment, musical instruments. The gifts must be evaluated by Ohio Dominican prior to donation. Please contact University Advancement at (614) 251-4790 or give@ohiodominican.edu.

Many companies offer matching gift programs to encourage employees to contribute to charitable organizations. Through these programs, when an employee makes a donation, the company will match, or some times even double, the same amount, to the same charitable organization.

Matching Gift Programs are a wonderful way for employees to make their charitable dollars stretch farther at no cost to themselves.

Ask your company's human resources office for a matching gift form.

You fill out a portion of the form and send it to Ohio Dominican with your gift and we will take care of the rest.

If you have any questions, contact University Advancement at (614) 251-4790 or give@ohiodominican.edu.

Donating Appreciated Securities to Ohio Dominican University

Gifts of appreciated securities which have been held for more than one year (in most cases) is a tax-wise way to make a difference at Ohio Dominican.

Donors making stock gifts are eligible to a federal income tax deduction equal to the fair-market value of the stock on the date it is gifted to ODU up to 30% of your adjusted gross income.

A capital gains tax is not due when the stock is transferred to Ohio Dominican.

The value of all securities gifts is calculated as the “mean price” on the trade date of the gift into the ODU gift account.
