There are three ways to donate.
1. Make out a check to and mail it to:
Beta Omicron House Corporation
160 Dandt Road
Custer, MI 49405
The address above is the address of House Corporation Treasurer Terry Carter, 231-757-9039. [email protected].
2. Send your credit card information to the same address by snailmail. We do not recommend using the contact page on this website or using email to transmit your credit card information.
When you pay using this method, you must send:
Your name
Your phone number
Your credit card account number
Card expiration date
The three-digit CVV or CVS number on the back of the card
Amount of your donation
If you choose to make regular, repeating donations,
you must send:
The payment frequency (monthly, quarterly, etc)
The amount charged to your credit card after each period.
The date the first payment is to begin
Any dollar amount you specify is the amount you will be
charged on your credit card statement. There is
no processing fee.
3. Donate securities. This option can be of advantage to an alumnus who may wish to donate securities rather than cash. If the alumnus donates “appreciated securities,” he can avoid capital gains tax that he would ordinarily have to pay. He has the advantage of completing his pledge with “discounted dollars”. Only readily marketable securities in good market order can be used.
Brother Tom Bledsoe (872, 4/72) has been employed as a financial advisor with Raymond James & Associates, Inc. for three decades. The House Corporation has appointed Tom and the Raymond James company to accept donations of securities for processing so the proceeds go to the House Corporation treasury. Donations have already come to the House Corporation this way. To inquire about this donation process for securities, contact Tom at his office: 260-497-7711. Email: [email protected].
With the stock market at an all-time high, option 3, donating a hundred or more shares of stock, may be your best way to save taxes. Talk to Tom.
