Meeting Your GoalsThere are many ways to support the university while also contributing to your own personal and financial goals. Outright gifts to UIS, such as cash, stock and property, can lower your tax liability. They allow the university to put your philanthropy to work immediately in an area of special interest to you. Deferred gifts benefit the University of Illinois at Springfield in the future. Such gifts can substantially lower income taxes and estate taxes. You can designate your gift to benefit one or more areas of your choosing, or make an unrestricted gift.
