Donation Opportunities

Bowles Hall offers a four-year residential hall experience designed to help undergraduates explore their aptitudes and interests, develop leadership skills through self-government, learn from a diversity of peers, create community with strong traditions and build deep friendships that will last a lifetime.

 

The Bowles Hall experience is made possible through the generous financial contributions from donors. Since rents cover only costs associated with room and board, the Bowles Hall Foundation must raise 100% of the programmatic costs every year. Programs supported through donations include live-in faculty, undergraduate fellows and scholarships. Donations also support student enrichment programs and capital projects to improve the Hall. 

 

When you make a tax-deductible gift to Bowles, you are enabling a new generation of students to have the unique, life changing experience that is Bowles Hall Residential College.

IRA and Stock Donation Details

Contributing tax-free from your IRA: Congress made this option permanent in December, 2015. This means individuals age 70.5 or older to donate up to $100,000 from an IRA directly to BHF tax-free to the extent provided by law. Such a gift would be considered a transfer, thereby lowering the donor’s Required Minimum Distribution for the year in which the gift was given.

​

Giving a gift of stock: By donating appreciated stock, you can receive a charitable deduction for the full fair market value of the stock on the date it was given to BHF and avoid incurring capital gains taxes. To take advantage of this opportunity, please click here for more details.​
