Yale’s Department of Internal Medicine is an international leader in research, education, and clinical care. Our programs are enhanced by the generous support of our donors. A gift of any amount is vital to our mission and goals. Here are some examples of how philanthropy can help our tripartite mission:

Capital Giving

Since 1810, Yale School of Medicine has grown and prospered thanks to significant capital gifts from alumni, parents, patients, and friends. More than 77% of endowment growth has come from a combination of new gifts and their subsequent investment performance. Yale’s academic distinction and its institutional stability are a reflection of the generosity of its dedicated supporters.

Gifts of Marketable Securities

A gift of appreciated securities you have held for more than one year is frequently the most economical way to give. You will be eligible to take a federal income tax deduction equal to the fair market value of the stock on the date of the gift for up to 30% of your adjusted gross income, and will not have to recognize the appreciation as a capital gain.

Planned Giving and Bequests

With a planned giving strategy tailored to your needs, you can put your assets to work for Yale while you and the University share in the benefits.

• IRA Rollover
• Charitable Gift Annuities and Charitable Lead Trusts
• Real Estate
• Bequests

Corporate Matching Gifts

Your gift can have an even greater impact if your company has a matching gift program. In some cases, your spouse’s company may match your gift. The impact of your gift may be doubled or possibly tripled. (Some companies also match gifts made by retirees.)
