Through qualified charitable distribution from your IRA: 

If you would like to donate your retirement plan assets and are age 70 ½ or older, you can contribute from your IRA directly to the foundation and avoid paying income taxes on the distribution. Ask your plan administrator to send the gift to The University of Exeter US Foundation (EIN: 47-1604216), 244 Fifth Avenue, Suite #S298, New York, NY 10001-7604.  

Through your 401(k) or 403(b): 

If you would like to donate through these assets, you will need to cash them out, paying the income tax attributable to the distribution and then donate the proceeds. 

If you are interested in either of these options, please contact Susan Alderton, the Treasurer, at treasurer@exeterusa.org for instructions and assistance. 

To make a gift from your donor-advised fund (DAF), send the grant from your DAF to The University of Exeter US Foundation (EIN: 47-1604216), 244 Fifth Avenue, Suite #S298, New York, NY 10001-7604. Please note DAFs may not be used for pledge schedules, but can be used for outright gifts. A donor advised fund, which is like a charitable savings account, gives you the flexibility to recommend how much and how often money is granted to qualified charities.
