You can support the KU Foundation through the SECA campaign. The State Employee Appeal (SECA) Fund Drive was established in 1977 as the only charitable campaign allowed by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in its state offices. The KU Foundation is now listed as one of the participating non-profit agencies. The SECA campaign will launch this fall.

If you are 70 ½ years of age or older, you are eligible to gift some or all of your required minimum distribution up to $105,000 to charity. This allows donors to minimize their adjusted gross income. Please consult with your tax advisor regarding your specific giving plans.

To make a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) to the Kutztown University Foundation from your IRA, please contact your IRA administrator.

Keep in mind:

• Donors must be at least 70 1/2 years of age when the gift is made
• Transfers must be made directly from the IRA administrator to the Kutztown University Foundation
• Gifts from the IRA cannot exceed $100,000 per person ($200,000 for a couple) in a given year
• Gifts can only be outright gifts (may not fund a charitable gift annuity or charitable trust)
• No goods and services can be given in exchange
• Gifts cannot be made to a donor-advised fund, a supporting organization, or a private foundation
• Checks sent by your plan administrator directly to the Kutztown University Foundation must be postmarked by December 31

The Old Main Society was established to encourage, support, and celebrate deferred gifts that ensure our university and foundation remain vital and vibrant for those who come after us.

Deferred charitable gifts, also known as planned gifts or legacy gifts, offer the greatest opportunity for the foundation and the donor while building long-term financial stability for Kutztown University. These gift arrangements are a way to reflect your values by leaving a lasting philanthropic legacy, as well as offering the opportunity to make a significant impact on a student’s experience. In addition, they often have considerable tax advantages for the donor and/or family members.

If you are interested in learning more about planned gifts or wish to share with us that you have already made a bequest to benefit Kutztown University in your estate plans, please contact us at 610-683-4110 or together@kuf.org
