Give Securely Online

Make a one-time or monthly recurring gift with your debit or credit card.

Other Ways to Give

Electronic Fund Transfer

You can support CBU without ever writing another check. Spread your gift over the fiscal by authorizing your bank to transfer a predetermined monthly amount (minimum monthly gift of $10). Monthly giving benefits the University by eliminating the costs associated with mailings, phonathons, and by simplifying the recording and receipting operations. To enroll in the program, please print and fill out the EFT Form (PDF) and mail it along with your voided check to the address above.

Ways to Give Stocks, Bonds, and Mutual Funds

Your gift of securities can be transferred to CBU by providing the following transfer instructions to your broker.

The value of your stock gift is based on the average of the high and low price of the stock on the day it was transferred.

Planned Giving

Among the many ways to give, you can remember CBU in your will and estate plans. When you make a planned gift, you leave a lasting and meaningful legacy, ensuring the health of CBU into the future. There are a number of tax-advantaged planned giving techniques you might consider, including:

• Life income gifts that pay you and/or other designated beneficiaries an income for life, such as charitable gift annuities and charitable remainder trusts;
• Gift of real estate, including life estates;
• Gifts through wills and living trusts;
• Successor beneficiary designation for retirement plans.

Planned Giving

When you include Christian Brothers University in your estate plan, your generosity provides the best possible experience for our students to prepare them for rewarding careers and lives.

Gifts of Art

Works of art may be donated to CBU at once, incrementally over a period of time, at a future date of your choosing, or through a planned bequest. Current tax law favors collectors who donate art to universities which have galleries creating a mutually beneficial partnership; the donor receives an income tax charitable deduction and CBU expands its collection. For more information about the campus gallery and its collections, please visit the Beverly + Sam Ross Gallery or contact the the Vice President for Advancement at (901) 321-3278.
