Gifting appreciated assets directly to Fresno State, such as stocks and mutual funds, is a tax-smart way to support Fresno State. You may avoid capital gains taxes while receiving an income tax deduction for the full amount of your gift. Capture the value of your appreciated assets and end worrying about market ups and downs. 


Please contact Becky Brown at 559.278.1877 or beckyb@csufresno.edu by Friday, December 13.
