We aim to build lasting relationships with alumni, friends and donors who care about MSU and the College of Engineering as much as we do. There are many ways to support teaching, research and outreach, and we invite you to explore options and reach out to us with questions.
Pledge
You can indicate on your pledge form the length of time over which you wish to make your gift. Michigan State University's Office of University Development will send you reminders at the intervals you specify -- annually, semi-annually, or quarterly.
Pledges at levels that qualify you for recognition in one of our donor societies are payable over a period of up to five years. Click here to open the gift pledge form (.pdf).
A pledge form for a gift that qualifies for recognition in one of our donor societies is also available online: https://givingto.msu.edu/donor-societies/.
For more detailed information on making a multi-year pledge to MSU, please contact the College of Engineering Office of Development at (517) 355-8339, or e-mail us at egrdevel@egr.msu.edu.
Gifts of stock
Like many of us over the years, you may have accumulated stock that has significantly appreciated in value. You have a concern about selling the stock, as there will be a minimum 20% capital gains tax due on the difference between your original cost basis and the fair market value of the stock at the time you sell it.
If you are interested in supporting the College, why not think about donating some of your appreciated stock to Michigan State University. That way, you can make a significant gift plus avoid the lump sum capital gains tax liability. Check out our Guide To Giving: https://givingto.msu.edu/ways-to-give.cfm#gift-types
Current tax laws provide an incentive for you to make a charitable gift of stock at a remarkably low tax cost. The tax savings are achieved in two ways. First of all, you pay no capital gains upon the transfer of stock to the College. Secondly, you may take a charitable income tax deduction for the full fair market value of the stock on the date of transferring (gifting) the stock to Michigan State University.

Planned gifts
Donors may elect to make a planned or deferred gift to Michigan State University's College of Engineering. A planned gift is any gift that involves detailed planning by you and your attorney, tax accountant or other financial adviser. Through the creative process of having planned giving incorporated within your comprehensive estate plans, you can fulfill philanthropic goals, reduce income taxes, avoid capital gain and estate taxes, retain a life income, and reduce costs of estate settlement, all while enjoying the satisfaction of providing significant future financial support for Michigan State University.

If you are interested in exploring planned giving options, please contact the College of Engineering Development Office at (517) 355-8339 or e-mail us at egrdevel@egr.msu.edu. Follow this link for a list of the various types of planned gifts: https://givingto.msu.edu/donor-societies/
Another great way to benefit the College is with a gift of marketable securities. Current tax laws provide an incentive for you to make a charitable gift of stock at a remarkably low tax cost. The tax savings are achieved in two ways. First of all, you pay no capital gains tax on appreciated securities upon transfer to the university. Secondly, you may take a charitable income tax deduction for the full fair market value of the stock on the date of transferring (gifting) the stock to MSU if the stock has been owned by the donor for more than 12 months.
Credit card/online gift
You may charge your gift or pledge payment to Visa or MasterCard using the University Development Online Gift Cart: https://www.givingto.msu.edu/gift/index.cfm. The College of Engineering does not have a limit on the size of gift that may be charged to a credit card.
Wire transfer
For wire transfer instructions, please visit the MSU Office of the Controller.
Additionally, it is very helpful to notify your contact in MSU Advancement of the details of any wire transfer being sent.
Depending on the country of origin, wire transfers may take up to 10 business days to arrive. The sending party is responsible for all wire transfer fees, including those that may be assessed by a third-party bank. The wire transfer will only be credited for the amount received by MSU.
For questions regarding the status of a wire transfer, please contact Keena Dunn at kmckenna@msu.edu or the Cashier’s Office at incomingwires@ctlr.msu.edu.
