About the VMTH

There are almost as many ways to give to the School of Veterinary Medicine as there are programs in need of your support. The best way to give depends on your life circumstances, your financial goals and your philanthropic interests. You can support our fundraising initiatives through:

Use our online form to donate now.

Gifts of securities
Stocks, mutual funds and bonds can be donated.

Gifts of real property
The school accepts real property including land, farms, personal residences, rental and commercial property.

Gifts-in-kind
Tangible, personal property donated for educational purposes, silent or live auctions and other special-event or patient-care needs are all accepted.

Matching gifts
Corporations may match their employees' donations dollar-for-dollar.

In addition to outright gifts of cash, securities, or property, the school welcomes:

Pledges
Gifts paid over a term of three years. Pledges also may be supplemented by matching gifts.

Memorial or Tribute gifts
Gifts in memory of a loved one are a thoughtful way to honor that person.

Estate gifts
Common methods include bequests, charitable remainder trusts and charitable gift annuities. Estate giving arrangements have specific tax advantages and often include lifetime income to a beneficiary or beneficiaries named by you. Our development office can provide information about giving to the program, priority, department or clinic that interests you. We also can work with your financial planner upon request.

Contact the School of Veterinary Medicine Office of Development at (530) 752-7024 to discuss the gift method that will best meet your goals and interests.
