How you can get involved
Everyone connects with Bemidji State in a unique way: as a student, professor, staff member, intellectual, art lover, music aficionado, sports fan and on and on. Not surprisingly, every contribution – whether it is a financial gift, bequest or volunteer effort – reflects a donor’s perspective, financial situation and time.
From a practical standpoint, here is background to inform your decision to be a part of the Imagine Tomorrow campaign:
Cash: Cash gifts are an easy way to give. Gifts of any size make an immediate impact on the Imagine Tomorrow priority area of your choice.
Securities: Gifts of stocks, bonds, treasuries and mutual funds that have increased in value are a win-win opportunity for you under current tax laws. They provide an immediate benefit to the university and a current income tax savings for you.
Property: Property and real estate includes homes, cabins, commercial buildings, farmland and other property, such as works of art and other items of value.
Planned Gifts: These involve giving to the university in the future. Typical types of planned gifts would be a bequest, life income gift, charitable gift annuity, charitable remainder trust, life insurance or a gift of residence with a life interest. The 蘑菇视频 Legacy Society is a unique organization whose members have provided for 蘑菇视频 through a planned gift. Members receive special invitations and other benefits.
Volunteer: One of the most important gifts you can give to 蘑菇视频 is to tell others why the university is vital to you and the community. Attend campus events. Volunteer for committees and events that interest you. You make a difference!
