There are many ways to give to the Palomar Foundation that create opportunities for excellence at the College. Your gift can support deserving students, enhance an academic program, or improve a cultural experience at the College while advancing your own personal philanthropic desires and goals.

You can specify how you would like your donation to be used.

Consider giving to Palomar through these methods:

Cash or pledges.
Donors may give checks, outright gifts of cash, or pledges of set amounts over a set period of time.

Bequests.
Including the Foundation in a will is an excellent way to benefit the eduction of future generations. Assets transferred through a will are removed from estate taxation.

Securities, real estate and other assets.
Gifts of appreciated stocks, bonds, real estate and other assets may provide donors with immediate tax or estate planning benefits. This method may allow donors to make a larger contribution than they thought possible.

Benefits from the donation of securities, real estate, and other assets include the avoidance of capital gains tax, deductibility on income tax returns of the fair market value of the asset, and reduction in estate taxes. Several wealth placement options are available to ensure that the donor’s heirs also benefit from one of these donations.

Contact us for information on the various donor programs. Also, consult with your attorney or financial adviser or, without obligation, the Palomar Foundation can arrange for consultations with knowledgeable estate planning professionals to assist potential donors and their financial advisers.

No gift is too small. All contributions are welcome!
