An Example of How It Works

Carlos and his mother smiling When Jaime's mother passed away, he knew he wanted to do something that would establish a lasting legacy for her. He remembered that she was always praising TTUS for the impact it had on her life.

Jaime decided to start an endowed scholarship at TTUS in his mother's name using appreciated securities. Not only will his mother's legacy live on at TTUS thanks to the gift, but Jaime also qualified for a federal income tax charitable deduction and eliminated capital gains tax on the securities.
