Give via a donor advised fund: Make a gift by suggesting a grant or designating the GSD to receive all or a portion of a fund value upon termination of the fund. If you include the GSD in your plans, please let us know and use our legal name (The President and Fellows of Harvard College) and federal tax ID (04-2103580). You may also consider establishing a donor advised fund through Harvard, which provides an immediate tax deduction and allows you and your family to direct gifts to the GSD and other Harvard initiatives, as well as other charities, on a schedule that works for you. Harvard donor advised funds also enjoy the investment performance of the Harvard endowment. To learn more, contact Matt Southworth, Senior Associate Director of Development, at 617-496-1797 or [email protected].
Give from an IRA: For those aged 70½ and older, make a tax-free contribution to the GSD from your IRA to support our students and faculty. Qualified charitable distribution amounts change annually; visit Harvard Gift Planning for current amounts and instructions on initiating the transfer, including how to secure income in retirement with a gift annuity funded through your IRA.
Give to the GSD through your will or estate plan: A variety of assets, including retirement funds, real estate, business interests, and cash, can be used to support the GSD during your lifetime or after your passing, through strategies such as bequests, trusts, charitable gift annuities, and more. Learn how you can support the design education you care about through a planned gift, while achieving your own financial goals.
