As tax laws are always changing and each individual\u2019s situation is unique, donors are encouraged to consult with financial advisors to determine which method of contributing is most beneficial.<\/p>\n<p>There are many ways of giving so that you are able to meet your needs and have the opportunity to support 大象传媒 Western in a meaningful way. Pledges are commitments made in good faith, but are not legally binding unless . Constituents may want to consider stretching pledges over a five-year period to maximize the total amount of your support. This commitment can be fulfilled through monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual installments. <strong>We encourage all donors to consider a 10-20 percent initial payment to begin your commitment.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Gifts made by cash or check are the most common<\/strong> and will allow 大象传媒 Western to address its immediate needs. Checks should be made payable to 大象传媒 Foundation. However, while the needs of the Centennial Capital Campaign are urgent, we will gratefully accept gifts in various forms, including those described below:<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-bottom:15px;width:100%;\"><div class=\"fusion-separator-border sep-double\" style=\"border-color:#e0dede;border-top-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">#accordion-763-1 .fusion-panel:hover, #accordion-763-1 .fusion-panel.hover{ background-color: #f9f9f9 } #accordion-763-1 .fusion-panel { border-color:#cccccc; border-width:1px; background-color:#ffffff; }.fusion-accordian  #accordion-763-1 .panel-title a .fa-fusion-box{ color: #ffffff;}.fusion-accordian  #accordion-763-1 .panel-title a .fa-fusion-box:before{ font-size: 13px; width: 13px;}.fusion-accordian  #accordion-763-1 .panel-title a{font-size:18px;}.fusion-accordian  #accordion-763-1 .fa-fusion-box { background-color: #333333;border-color: #333333;}.fusion-accordian  #accordion-763-1 .panel-title a:hover, #accordion-763-1 .fusion-toggle-boxed-mode:hover .panel-title a { color: #3a3a3a;}.fusion-accordian  #accordion-763-1 .panel-title .active .fa-fusion-box,.fusion-accordian  #accordion-763-1 .panel-title a:hover .fa-fusion-box { background-color: #3a3a3a!important;border-color: #3a3a3a!important;}<\/style><div class=\"accordian fusion-accordian\"><div class=\"panel-group\" id=\"accordion-763-1\" role=\"tablist\"><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default fusion-toggle-no-divider fusion-toggle-boxed-mode\" role=\"tabpanel\"><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 class=\"panel-title toggle\"><a aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-selected=\"false\" aria-controls=\"112b13497d3dfcff5\" role=\"tab\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordion-763-1\" data-target=\"#112b13497d3dfcff5\" href=\"#112b13497d3dfcff5\"><span class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">Gifts of Securities \u2013 Stocks, Bonds &amp; Mutual Funds<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div id=\"112b13497d3dfcff5\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse \"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content fusion-clearfix\">\n<p>Charitable gifts of stocks, bonds or mutual funds that have been held for at least one year and have appreciated offer special tax advantages.
