Give Back

Since 1987, more than 5,000 Scholars have entered the Terry Scholarship Programs. Their lives and the lives of their families have forever been changed because of the opportunity to receive an education and graduate without the burden of excessive debt.

Mr. and Mrs. Terry requested that Scholars give back to the Foundation through their time and resources to ensure a strong Terry family. Terry Scholar Alumni give back to the Foundation in a number of ways.

Donating to the Endowment

All donations support the endowment established by Howard and Nancy Terry and will help fund scholarships for outstanding Texas students.
The Terry Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and all donations are tax-deductible. Our EIN is 31-1551093.

Gift of Stock

For stock held in brokerage accounts, your broker can assist you in making a gift of stock via a
direct transfer to the Terry Foundation. This may be more tax advantageous than selling the stocks
and donating the net proceeds.
Potential Benefits:

You allow the Terry Foundation to receive the full pretax value of those appreciated assets.
You may avoid long-term capital gains taxes you might otherwise owe.
You may be able to deduct the full value of the stock on your tax return as a charitable gift.
You may also save on brokerage fees when you transfer ownership rather than selling the stock.
