Suffolk University Law School
Office of Advancement

To make a gift online you can go to this secure website.

If your employer or your spouse’s employer has a matching gift program, you may be able to double the impact of your gift to Suffolk University. If so, please enclose the appropriate matching gift form with your donation. To find out if your employer matches charitable donations or to obtain the appropriate forms, contact your human resources department.

Gifts of appreciated securities (stocks, bonds, mutual fund shares) that have been held for more than one year have some tax advantages for donors. In most instances, you can take a tax deduction for the full market value of the gift on the date it was made while avoiding any capital gains tax.

For more information or to discuss a securities donation, please contact the Suffolk University Office of Advancement at 617-573-8443.

Naming Suffolk in your will is a way of ensuring that your generous support for the University continues long after your lifetime. In addition to bequests, several planned giving vehicles enable you to generously provide for Suffolk while also accomplishing important personal and financial goals for yourself and your family.

Planned giving options such as charitable remainder trusts, charitable annuities, and pooled income funds provide deferred funds for Suffolk University’s long-term needs, while also offering income and tax advantages to the donor during his or her lifetime. In a typical planned gift, donors transfer assets to Suffolk (in the form of cash, securities, real estate or other assets); they and/or their beneficiaries receive income payments for life or a period of years as well as charitable income and other tax benefits.

Alumni and friends who include Suffolk in their wills or trusts or establish a planned giving vehicle at Suffolk qualify for membership in the Frost Society.

For more information about bequests and about the planned giving vehicles Suffolk offers, or to discuss whether a planned gift is right for you, please contact Charlotte Sobe .
