Planned giving is finding ways to make charitable gifts now or after your lifetime while enjoying financial benefits for yourself.  For example:

​Some Planned Giving techniques which can benefit you, your family, and the school are:

 

  • A Bequest

  • A Charitable Lead Trust

  • A Gift Annuity

  • Retirement Plan Assets

  • Life Insurance Policies ​
