Whether you choose to make an immediate or lasting impact there are a number of ways
to fulfill your commitment.
Making your gift online is a convenient, fast and secure option. You can choose an existing fund or funds
to support. The university accepts American Express, Discover, MasterCard and Visa.
To make a cash gift, please make your check payable to the USC-Business Partnership
Foundation and mail to:
USC-Business Partnership Foundation Darla Moore School of Business 1014 Greene Street Columbia, SC 29208
A contribution of long-term appreciated securities, either publicly traded or from
a closely held company, often provides greater tax advantages than a cash gift.
Please contact a member of the Moore School’s Development staff to confirm where you would like your gift designated. This step ensures you will
receive a timely gift receipt and that your gift is designated according to your wishes.
Then, your broker can electronically transfer securities from your brokerage account
to the USC-Business Partnership Foundation:
Please instruct your broker to provide the following information along with your donation:
Your name
Name of your brokerage firm
Name of the stock and the number of shares being donated
Name of the fund where your gift should be designated
IRA rollover gifts – often referred to as “qualified charitable distributions” or
“QCDs” – can be an easy and effective way to make a gift to the Moore School. IRA
owners age 70 ½ or older can make a direct, tax-free transfer of up to $100,000 a
year from their individual retirement account to a charity or non-profit like USC.
Benefits of an IRA rollover gift:
Reduce your taxable income.
Donation counts toward your annual required minimum distribution if you are at least
72 years old.
Make annual transfers of up to $100,000 each year.
Many companies have matching gift programs available to employees and retirees. These
matches increase the overall impact of a personal gift. Visit matchinggifts.com/sc to learn more.
Investing in the Moore School through life insurance, a bequest or another estate
planning strategy can establish your legacy by supporting initiatives important to
you. To discuss in more detail please contact a member of the Moore School’s Development staff.
Thank you for your gift!
