Since you receive some benefits from your gift, the IRS rules may limit the deductible portion to 80% of the amount contributed. We recommend you consult your tax advisor to determine how the tax laws may affect you. Other opportunities to give: We have many projects – either renovations or new additions from the Phase II Master Plan - in need of funding. These are wonderful naming opportunities to honor a loved one or make a statement as a VT alum. Please contact Dr. Holly Scoggins, Director, for more information (540) 231-5783.
