How to Give
There are many ways to support current and future scholars.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have questions.
Current Gifts
Cash
Gifts of cash are tax-deductible and the easiest to value. The Morehead-Cain Scholarship Fund can accept cash gifts by check or credit card through a pledge card, over the phone, or online. These gifts of cash are tax-deductible and the easiest to value.
You may also send a check or money order made payable to the Morehead-Cain Scholarship Fund at this address:
The Morehead-Cain Scholarship Fund
Post Office Box 690
Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27514-0690
Stock
A gift of marketable securities that have been owned for more than one year provide a donor with two tax benefits: a charitable income tax deduction and a waiver of the capital gains tax. For tax purposes, the value of the gift is the mean market value of the securities on the day of the gift. For donors in higher tax brackets, these tax benefits may reduce the out-of-pocket cost of a gift of securities by half.
Matching Gifts
Matching gifts can double or triple your gift! If you work for a company that matches charitable gifts, please obtain a matching gift form from your personnel office and send it along with your contribution.
Future Gifts
Pledges
You may make a pledge now and pay over a five-year period.
Bequests
A bequest is a gift of any amount made to the Morehead-Cain Scholarship Fund in your Will. You may include a charitable bequest when you execute a new Will, or you can add it to an existing Will through a codicil.
Retirement Plan Assets
Retirement plan assets are a great source of retirement income, but not always a good choice for making gifts to children and grandchildren. You may consider using these assets to make a meaningful gift that will support the Morehead-Cain well into the future.
