Contact our office prior to delivery of gifts to campus. The Foundation will accept gifts-in-kind if the items are deemed appropriate and usable by the corresponding college department. There may be limitations for storage, usefulness for teaching opportunities, college needs, etc.

Examples of property and gifts-in-kind include:

  • Vehicles, planes, boats, RVs, buses*
  • Works of art, crops, production materials, and other tangible items
  • Horses and other livestock

*The Foundation has partnered with Automotive Recovery Services (ARS). If LBCC is unable to utilize your particular vehicle, you can still make a difference and get a tax deduction. Call 800-240-0160 to donate your vehicle for the benefit of the Foundation. ARS will arrange for a free vehicle pick-up and tow, will provide you with a tax receipt, and will pass on any proceeds from auction to the Foundation. For more information, please visit Donate A Car.

Note: If you value your gift-in-kind at $5,000 or more, this may impact your taxes, and we suggest you seek professional IRS or tax preparation advice.

Planned gifts can be intended for current use or endowments. Planned gifts include a variety of life income plans, stock plans, real estate gifts, trusts, wills, annuities, and estate plans.
