Annual Giving donations are tax deductible for those who itemize. For the 2007-2008 Annual Giving year, you may pledge immediately and pay anytime prior to May 31, 2008.

Alumni Pacesetter: A suggested formula for alumni who graduated in the past ten years: $10 for each year since JBS, including year of graduation.

Online Giving: If you wish, you may donate online or complete a pledge form today.

Securities: Contributing appreciated securities could be advantageous to you, as you may avoid capital gains taxes and reduce your taxable income by deducting the full current market value of the securities. Please have your broker call Burroughs when you have decided what stock(s) you will be giving, and then send us a copy of the letter of instruction:
