Ways to Give Wisely

You don't have to use cash to make a gift to Oxford University.


You can give appreciated securities instead, using an asset that cost you less than the tax deduction you'll get for it today.

You can make a substantial gift to us through a transfer of residential, commercial, or undeveloped real estate.

You can give us an interest in a closely-held or family business.

You can give us personal property like books, artwork or equipment, and secure a charitable income tax deduction.


You can make a gift that costs you nothing during your lifetime.


Your bequest ensures that we can meet our goals tomorrow -- without affecting your assets today.

We offer a wise charitable alternative to the double taxation that awaits your retirement plan in your estate.

You can turn surplus life insurance coverage into a charitable gift to Oxford University, or use a new policy to create an endowment from income instead of capital.


You can partner with Oxford University in your giving.


Your gift can return income that helps you meet many family obligations with the most flexible gift plan available -- a charitable remainder unitrust.

You can combine flexible management of your gift and a predictable, fixed-income payout with a charitable remainder annuity trust.

You can give Oxford University your house through a retained life estate and continue to live there rent-free.

A part-gift/part-sale transaction called a charitable bargain sale gives you a charitable deduction and cash to purchase your next home.

You can increase your estate for your children while delivering years of income to Oxford University with a charitable lead trust.
