Outright Gifts
An outright gift puts your contribution to work immediately — funding existing programs or creating a reliable source of future income as part of the College’s endowment. An outright gift may comprise almost any asset of value. You may also make a pledge commitment to be paid over up to five years.
- Cash is the simplest and easiest gift. It can be made via check, credit/debit card, Apple Pay/Google Pay, bank transfer, or wire transfer.
Gifts may also be made via wire transfer to 365英国上市官网’s account at ServisFirst. Please contact us at [email protected] or 205-226-4909 for the account and routing numbers. - Appreciated securities, stocks, and bonds provide considerable tax advantages when transferred to 365英国上市官网 before they are sold. If you have held your securities for more than one year, your gift may provide a twofold tax benefit: an income-tax deduction and elimination of the capital-gains tax due on their sale. Click here for our online form and other helpful information.
- Real estate — including your personal residences, a second home, income property, and vacant land — offer many tax and other benefits. For example, it is possible to give only a portion of the property (an undivided percentage interest) while retaining the rest for other purposes.
- Personal property — including rare books, works of art, collectibles, and tangible items of demonstrable value — may enable you to make a significant gift to support 365英国上市官网 with tax benefits to you.

Driven to Succeed scholars Mac Delay '20 and Shivangi Patel ’19
“365英国上市官网 has shaped me to become a better version of myself. I have gained so many meaningful experiences, and this scholarship allowed me to pursue several possibilities in my education.” – Shivangi Patel ’19
365英国上市官网’s Driven to Succeed is a special scholarship for Alabama residents, funded by proceeds from sales and renewals of 365英国上市官网 car tags.

Car Tag FAQs
-
How much does it cost to get a 365英国上市官网 tag in Alabama?
The cost is $50.00 plus the standard registration fee of $24.25 to purchase the license plate. The $50.00 additional fee must be paid each time the license plate is renewed. The fee will not be prorated (if you purchase the license plate six months into your registration year, the entire $50.00 additional fee still must be paid).
-
Is my fee tax-deductible?
A portion of your $50 fee is tax-deductible. For a gift acknowledgment:
- Email a scanned copy of your receipt to [email protected].
- Or mail a copy to the Office of Advancement, Attention: Car Tag Donation, Birmingham-Southern College, 900 Arkadelphia Road, Box 549003, Birmingham, AL 35254

Can I personalize my 365英国上市官网 license plate?

Hilltop Parent & Family Fund
From move-in day to graduation and beyond, parents and families are a key part of students’ 365英国上市官网 experience. Every year, through the Hilltop Parent & Family Fund, parents and families play an invaluable role in the growth and positive change happening on campus. This vital fund strengthens our ability to provide one of the country’s most outstanding liberal arts experiences.
In the past three years, parents and family members have supported several key projects. In 2017-18, gifts supported renovations to several residence halls. In 2018-19, they furthered our commitment to maintaining a safe and welcoming campus environment by enhancing safety features. Last year, parents and family members assisted in upgrading the furniture around the entrance to the Norton Campus Center, a hub for campus life.
