Personal Property

A unique way to support Michigan Tech's mission

You may make a gift of equipment, minerals, or other tangible personal property that represents a significant acquisition to Michigan Tech or an addition to its existing collections.

For you to receive the most favorable tax treatment for your gift, the items must be related to Michigan Tech's mission. Generally, this includes items that can be used to further the University's teaching, research, and service activities rather than items that must be sold after they are donated.

Please contact us for more information on appraisal requirements and other details.
