Ways to Give

It's a privilege to be able to give back to a school that has shaped my education and career in such positive ways.

Support the school and your financial estate while meeting your tax planning goals. The IU Foundation has information about planned and estate gifts.

Support our school in perpetuity by naming a facility or endowing and naming a scholarship, fellowship, faculty position, program, or center.

Some employers match or even double charitable gifts made by their employees. Find out if your company has a matching gift program.

You can claim a charitable deduction for the full fair market value of the securities on the date the gift is made, and you don’t pay capital gains tax on any appreciation in the value of the securities since they were acquired. Consult your tax advisor for detailed information.

Support what’s important to you, on a schedule that fits your budget and busy lifestyle. You can create a larger impact through your giving by making manageable payments in an amount that’s right for you. Contact Ashland Zimmerman at atheodor@indiana.edu or call 812-856-0591 for information on how to set up your annual or monthly giving.

Learn about IU payroll deduction, mailing your gift, and more payment options.

Indiana taxpayers may take a tax credit for gifts to IU. If you file tax returns for a different state, check with your tax advisor to learn if you can take a tax credit for your gift.

Give every year and join the Linked list

In computer science, a linked list is a data structure representing various data points that together form a sequence. At Luddy, the Linked List honors our most loyal donors—people who make a gift of any amount for three or more consecutive years.
