Gifts of Tangible Personal Property

Gifts of valuable personal property—such as books, works of art, jewelry, and coin collections—can truly benefit Williams College. Such gifts can enhance the Williams College Museum of Art's extraordinary collection, be added to the College's extensive archives, or be used to fund a life income gift, such as a Charitable Remainder Trust.

Such gifts, if they qualify under IRS "related use" rules, can reduce your estate tax liability and provide an income tax deduction equal to the full appraised value.

Call (413) 597-3538, email the Williams College Office of Gift Planning, or complete the personal illustration form on this website so that we can assist you through every step of the process.
