Gifts of Personal Property

How it works

  You transfer a valuable painting, antiques, collectibles or other personal property to Lyon College.

Benefits

  • You receive gift credit and an immediate income tax deduction for the appraised value of your gift and pay no capital gains tax, so long as the gift can be used by Lyon College to carry out its mission.
  • In certain cases, you can use personal property to fund a life-income gift that provides you with income now and benefits Lyon College.
  • You have the satisfaction of making a significant gift now to Lyon College without adversely affecting your cash flow.
