Ways To Give

Planned Giving:

Although we welcome and encourage outright gifts, there are other ways to financially support School of Allied Health Professions departments and programs, through what is known as planned giving. Gifts may be made during your lifetime or through your will in the form of:

- Bequests One of the easiest and most common ways of planned giving.
- Life Insurance Some policies may allow you to make a current or deferred contribution.
- Life Income Gifts An opportunity to give and receive; these gifts allow you to receive an income: gift annuities, annuity trusts, unitrusts and pooled income funds.
- Charitable Gift Annuities An annuity contract that allows a transfer of assets to benefit the School of Allied Health Professions as long as we agree to make regular, fixed payments to you for life.
- Deferred Charitable Gift Annuity An excellent retirement program, making it possible for you to get an immediate income tax deduction, yet defer the receipt of income for a term of years. When payments begin, they will be at a much higher level than for an annuity that is not deferred.
- Charitable Lead Trusts A way to support our programs and to transfer substantial assets to beneficiaries (children or grandchildren, for instance) with the potential for significantly lowered gift and estate taxes. Your heirs may actually receive a larger inheritance than they would through an outright bequest or accumulation trust, while the School of Allied Health Professions receives an immediate flow of income.
- Charitable Remainder Annuity Trust This trust may be created by irrevocably transferring cash, securities or property to a trust for the School of Allied Health Professions’ benefit. In exchange, you and/or your designated beneficiaries will receive a fixed dollar amount, at least annually, for life or for a fixed term up to 20 years (the latter known as a term certain annuity trust). At your death, the death of your beneficiaries or the end of the term, the trust terminates and the assets are transferred to us.

We would be happy to meet with you and your financial consultants to discuss these and other ways of giving.
