There are countless ways to show your support for the Frost School of Music. Choose the one that fits your style, and let us know how we can assist you in meeting your goals and financial needs while also benefiting the University.

Last year over 38,000 individuals, companies, foundations and organizations donated over $93 million to the University of Miami. The impact of these donations cannot be overstated. Every school, college and area of the University benefited from the generosity of our donors, including the Frost School.

The easiest and most convenient way to make a contribution is by credit card through the University’s fast, safe, and secure on-line giving form. The University of Miami accepts Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express, for your convenience.

Gifts of stock and bonds are always welcomed at the Frost School; however, these gifts may require special planning and consultation with your professional financial advisor and the University of Miami staff. If you have decided to make a gift of stock, please contact the Treasurer's Office at 305- 284-6789.

Gifts of appreciated securities typically carry benefits not associated with gifts made by check, cash, or credit card:

	You avoid capital gains tax. Any gain is taxable if you sell stock or mutual fund shares yourself, but not if you transfer ownership to the University.
	Your charitable deduction for federal income tax purposes is based on the full, fair market value of the shares on the date the gift is made.
	You receive credit from UM for the full fair market value of the shares, but the cost to you is only your original purchase price.
For more information about the benefits, visit the Office of Estate and Gift Planning page, or contact the Office of Estate and Gift Planning at 1-800-529-6935.

The University of Miami is pleased to accept gifts of tangible personal property that address a specific need and comply with the mission and policies of the University. Beginning with the donation of land by George E. Merrick, and including some recent gifts of art and computer software, the University has been strengthened by non-cash contributions throughout its 80+-year history.

Because of the unique circumstances surrounding gifts of personal property, this process is inevitably much longer and more complex than it is for other contributions to UM. To discuss a possible gift, donors are encouraged to call Nancy Castleman-Dion at 305-284-5816, or email ncastlem@miami.edu.
