Unrestricted gifts provide the administration, deans, and department heads immediate, flexible funds for new initiatives, scholarship programs, or other academic priorities that are not included in current operating budgets.

How does my annual gift through the Annual Fund make an impact and where does my money go?

Your gift goes directly where you want it to go! You can designate your gift to the department, college, center, or college-wide academic program of your choice. Your annual gift and gifts from other College of Engineering donors combine to provide vital support for CIT's talented students

What is a matching gifts program, and how do I use it?

As a demonstration of commitment to employees and partnership with the community, numerous companies will match an employee's (and/or spouse's) gift to a charitable organization. To find out how to maximize the impact of your gift, contact your (or your spouse's) human resources department.

Your gift may provide you with federal and state income tax benefits:

• If you itemize deductions on your federal income tax return, you may be able to deduct your contribution from your adjusted gross income. In addition, gifts of appreciated property avoid long term capital gains tax. Check with your tax advisor for deduction and capital gains tax requirements and limitations for your situation.
