Give from your IRA — If you are 70 1/2 or older, you can give directly from your IRA to Transylvania without having to pay income taxes on the money. Gifts of $105,000 or less are eligible, so long as they are directed from your IRA custodian to Transylvania (rather than taking the disbursement yourself and then gifting it.) This is a very smart way to contribute, and those who max out the allowable annual gift provide the equivalent of two full-tuition/fees scholarships that year for Transy students!
If you have any questions about this process, please call the Alumni & Development Office directly at 800‑4‑Transy (800‑487‑2679) or giving@transy.edu.
Because of your donations, the Transylvania community is impacted for the better, thank you for your generosity and support.
GIVE TO TRANSYLVANIA
Why Your Annual Gift to Transy Matters:
Investing in future Pioneers ensures that our 245‑year tradition of providing educational excellence continues for the next generation!
Supporting The Transylvania Fund provides scholarships for those who could not otherwise afford to come to Transy
Alumni participation influences Transylvania’s ranking in national publications.
Foundations often use alumni participation as a decision factor for awarding sizable grants. Your gift—of any size—helps secure these significant funds.
Starting in 2026, you can now receive a federal tax deduction for your gift – even if you don’t itemize. If you take the standard deduction, you can deduct up to $1,000 (or $2,000 if married and filing jointly) for cash gifts to qualified nonprofits like Transylvania University. At many tax rates, that means hundreds of dollars back at tax time, while making a meaningful difference for Transy students today.
