Chi Alpha Capital Campaign
PO Box 4633
Chapel Hill, NC 27515-4633
Gifts
may be made via the following:
Cash.
Checks: should be made payable to the Gamma-Nu Zeta
Housing Corporation Board. Please send your gift to Lambda
Chi Alpha capital Campaign, PO Box 4633, Chapel Hill, NC
27515-4633.
Credit
Cards: Donors may charge their gift to MasterCard
or Visa. Please contact Laurie Norman at 800-861-7023
to charge your gift to MasterCard or Visa.
Stocks,
Bonds and Securities: There are several advantages
to the donor for a gift of appreciated property or securities.
A donor may transfer ownership of stock to the Gamma-Nu
Zeta Housing Corporation Board. This type of transfer
makes it possible to avoid the capital gains tax, which
would normally be applied if the security was sold. The
transfer may be made simply by directing your broker to
assign ownership of a stock to the Gamma-Nu Zeta Housing
Corporation Board through our stock account. For more
information or to transfer ownership of stock, please
contact John T. Kelleher '63 with Merrill Lynch of Charlotte.
John can be reached at 800-937-0406. His address
is John T. Kelleher, Merrill Lynch, Private Client Group,
4500 Cameron Valley parkway, Suite 400, Charlotte, NC
28211.
Life
Insurance: Often the need for which some life insurance
was purchased changes, and an individual may find that
he no longer needs a certain policy. He can transfer ownership
of this policy and claim a deduction for the cash value
and subsequent premiums.
Wills
and Bequests: Individuals may make a testamentary
gift to the Gamma-Nu Zeta Chapter of Lambda Chi
Alpha. This affords the donor the opportunity
to make a significant gift without diminishing
his current assets. To complete a bequest, the
donor should add a codicil to his will that directs
a specific sum or percentage of his estate to
be given to " Gamma-Nu Zeta Chapter of Lambda
Chi Alpha Housing Corporation, a nonprofit North
Carolina Corporation." An attorney can suggest
the exact wording.
Charitable
Remainder Trusts: Again, the
charitable remainder trust gives
an alumnus the option of remembering
the fraternity after his death
or the death of family members
who are allowed to use assets
of the trust while they are still
living. Again, an attorney can
suggest the best way to include
this in your estate planning.
In-Kind
Gifts: If the donor owns
a business, he may donate materials,
products and services that he
normally sells. Donors may also
choose to donate other items
such as furnishings, art, computers,
etc.
Matching
Gifts: Many alumni work for
companies that provide a matching
gift program for contributions
to non-profit organizations. To
take advantage of this option,
contact your human resources department
for a matching gift form and include
it with your gift. We will take
care of filing the form with your
company.
