    <p><strong>ONLINE GIVING</strong><br>
    <a href="https://umbcgiving.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/6736150457_cfef124c1c_z.jpg" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><img src="http://umbcgiving.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/6736150457_cfef124c1c_z.jpg?w=225&amp;h=300" alt="6736150457_cfef124c1c_z" width="225" height="300" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></a>To donate to UMBC, you may go to our <a href="https://securelb.imodules.com/s/1325/UMBC-template-social.aspx?sid=1325&amp;gid=1&amp;pgid=564&amp;cid=1258" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">traditional giving site</a> and designate your gift any way you’d like. If you would prefer to donate directly to student scholarships or other student programs, you can continue online to our <a href="https://umbc.givecorps.com/projects" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">crowdfunding site.</a></p>
    <p><strong>CHECKS</strong><br>
    If writing a check, please make them payable to the UMBC Foundation and mail to the <strong>UMBC Foundation</strong> at 1000 Hilltop Circle, Baltimore, MD 21250. <a href="https://umbcgiving.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/dev2014-018_revised-form-4.pdf" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Use this printable form to make your contribution even easier.</a></p>
    <p><strong>GIFT OF SECURITIES</strong><br>
    Giving appreciated stock can benefit both you and the school you came from. You may be eligible to take a charitable deduction for the market value of the securities, and could potentially benefit by avoiding capital gains tax and reducing your estate tax. You can request additional information about donating securities <a href="http://alumni.umbc.edu/s/1325/giving.aspx?sid=1325&amp;gid=1&amp;pgid=536&amp;from=http://alumni.umbc.edu/controls/login/CasProxy.ashx?sid=1325&amp;gid=1&amp;lmode=user&amp;debug=0&amp;ticket=ST-340-4sKtIsDT3r60dqZmLxip-cas" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">here.</a></p>
    <p><strong>PLANNED GIVING</strong><br>
    Planned gifts, such as bequests, charitable gift annuities, and charitable remainder trusts, can benefit for you, your family, and UMBC and offer a wide variety of ways to donate to the university. For more information, visit our <a href="http://www.gftpln.org/Home.do?orgId=6027" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Planned Giving website.</a> You can also contact Kim Robinson, Director of Capital Campaigns and Donor Relations, by phone at 410-455-3700 or by email at <a href="mailto:trowbri@umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">trowbrid@umbc.edu</a>.</p>
    <p><strong>GIFTS IN KIND</strong><br>
    Used to benefit the university, a gift of personal property includes equipment, inventory, books, works of art, or other tangible property. Gifts of personal property are gladly accepted by UMBC and greatly appreciated. Donors may designate their gift to be used in an academic department or program. If you are interested in pursuing this type of gift, please email Kim Robinson, director of capital campaigns and donor relations, at <a href="mailto:trowbri@umbc.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">trowbrid@umbc.edu</a> or give her a call at 410-455-3700.</p>
