Payroll deduction
This is an easy method to make tax-deductible donations directly from your paycheck through your employer. Contact your payroll department.
Cash or Credit Card
Gifts of cash are deductible against your gross income and provide an opportunity to lower your tax liability. The amount of your deduction may vary based on the percentage of income. The Foundation accepts most major credit cards.
Contribute to Foundation
Property
By making a gift of property, you can avoid capital gains tax while qualifying for a charitable deduction. Property can be gifted so it may still be used during your lifetime or that of your survivor. Assets may include:
• Personal residence, home, condominium, duplex, farm or ranch
• Family-owned or inherited property
• Commercial real estate
• Office and apartment buildings
|
Securities/Stock
A gift of appreciated securities, stocks, bonds, or mutual funds held for more than one year may provide significant benefits to you, such as:
• A charitable income tax deduction
• Eliminating or reducing capital gains tax
• Claiming your charitable deduction against your adjusted gross income
For details, consult your tax advisor or financial consultant.
Insurance
A gift of insurance can be made by taking out a policy ($25,000 minimum) on someone and designating Jordan Education Foundation as beneficiary.

Student Scholarship
With your contribution, the Foundation will name a scholarship in memory or in honor of an individual or a specific academic area, as designated by the donor. A gift of $25,000 may be made in one lump sum, or in five consecutive annual installments of $5,000 each. Contact the Foundation for details.
Gift Planning Tools
A plan through a will, revocable living trust, or testamentary trust allows you to retain an income or plan a gift from a larger estate. Consult your legal advisor for more information.
