A Donor Advised Fund (DAF), which is like a charitable savings account, gives you the flexibility to recommend how much and how often money is granted to an organization. Visit Donor Advised Fund to learn more about these charitable savings accounts or to log into your account and recommend a grant.
When you make a Donor Advised Fund gift to Harvey Mudd College, it is possible that the sponsoring organization will not share your information with us. Please send us a note at advancement_services@500hudson.com or contact us at 844.448.3462 when you have made a gift so we can thank you and ensure that your gift is recorded correctly.
If you are 70½ or older, you may donate directly from your Individual Retirement Account (IRA) for tax benefits and higher charitable impact, quickly and easily. The popular gift option is commonly called the IRA charitable rollover, but you may also see it referred to as a qualified charitable distribution, or QCD for short. Let our handy tool help you to make your donation at IRA Charitable Rollover.
When you make a qualified charitable distribution gift to Harvey Mudd College, it is likely that your financial institution will not share your information with us (we often receive QCD checks that do not include the donor name). Please send us a note at advancement_services@500hudson.com or contact us at 844.448.3462 when you have made a gift so we can thank you and ensure that your gift is recorded correctly. Please indicate the amount, the name of the financial institution that is sending your QCD, and where you would like the gift designated.
Giving stock that has appreciated and you have held for at least one year can be one of the smartest ways to make a gift. You not only obtain a deduction for the full-fair market value of the stock (typically calculated as the average of the high and the low on the day the stock leaves your control), you also avoid paying tax on the capital gain.
(Where a stock has depreciated in value, selling the stock and contributing the proceeds may be more advisable, particularly if you can use the loss to offset other gains.)
The objective is to transfer the shares to Harvey Mudd College rather than sell the shares and forward us the proceeds. The transfer process varies slightly depending on whether or not the stock certificates are in your possession.
To initiate a transfer of stock and/or mutual funds to HMC, please contact advancement_services@500hudson.com and include the following:
Please note that stock gifts may take 3–4 business days to transfer. On average, mutual funds take 3–4 weeks to be received by HMC.
Consider making a gift of real estate to Harvey Mudd. Such a generous gift helps us continue our work for years to come. And a gift of real estate also helps you. When you give usappreciated propertyyou have held longer than one year, you qualify for a federal income tax charitable deduction. This eliminatescapital gains tax. And you no longer have to deal with that property’s maintenance costs, property taxes or insurance.
Another benefit: You don’t have to hassle with selling the real estate. You can deed the property directly to Harvey Mudd or ask your attorney to add a few sentences in your will or trust agreement.

In addition to gifts and pledges of cash or other appreciated assets, there may be opportunities to contribute in-kind gifts to the college, such as a piece of research or machining equipment directly helpful to the college’s mission of hands-on education and research.
All in-kind gifts must be given unconditionally and are evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The College does not generally accept gifts of art or vehicles, and gifts of property valued at more than $5000 must be supported by a formal appraisal to qualify for a tax deduction. Harvey Mudd does not provide nor pay for such appraisals.
Corporations interested in contributing scientific research or engineering equipment should contact Jennifer Lidar, director of corporate relations at jlidar@500hudson.com or 909.607.7015.
Individuals should contact Katrina Richardson at krichardson@500hudson.com or 909.607.3167.
