Giving to Einstein: FAQs
What types of charitable gifts may a donor make to Einstein?
Charitable gifts may be designated for “unrestricted” or “restricted” purposes and can be structured as “current” or deferred.”
What are the advantages to Einstein of unrestricted gifts?
Unrestricted fits are especially valuable to the College because they provide the flexibility to achieve ongoing objectives and implement strategic planning priorities. They also provide the resources to cover the cost of educational and research programs not fully financed by other support or revenues.
What is a restricted gift?
A restricted gift may be designated for any of the College’s activities of particular interest to the donor such as scholarships, faculty support, research initiatives or enhancement of facilities.
What is the difference between a current gift and a deferred gift?
- Current Gift – an outright transfer of cash, securities, tangible or intangible personal property, real estate or insurance. Such gifts are among the tax-planning options available to taxpayers who itemize deductions.
- Deferred Gift – can include bequests through a will and life-income agreements such as charitable gift annuities and charitable remainder trusts. For detailed information about deferred gifts please call 212-960-0870, fax 212-960-0059 or email hrubin@yu.edu for a free copy of the College’s publication “Making Your Money Matter: A Guide to Gift Opportunities.”
