Empower LGBTQ+ students to achieve their educational
dreams.
Gifts
We Accept
We know your philanthropy is personal. Our Giving Team specializes in ensuring gifts of all shapes and sizes maximize your impact for LGBTQ+ students.
Cash
Cash donations are convenient and impactful. Your generous gift can be made online, by check, or in person.
Publicly Traded Securities
Donating publicly traded securities is a tax-efficient way to give. By contributing stocks, bonds or mutual funds, you can support our mission and reduce your capital gains taxes.
Donor Advised Funds
DAFs offer a flexible way to support the National Rainbow College Fund. Recommend a grant from your fund to provide critical scholarships to LGBTQ+ students.
Qualified Charitable Distribution from your IRA
If you are 70½ or older, you can make a tax-free donation directly from your IRA. A QCD helps you meet your required minimum distribution (RMD) while supporting LGBTQ+ students.
Planned Gifts
Our team can help you integrate philanthropy into your estate planning. Planned gifts, such as bequests and charitable trusts, ensure your legacy supports future LGBTQ+ students.
Complex Assets
Our team works with donors to directly process gifts of real estate, business interests, privately-held stock, and other complex assets to maximize impact.
