Legacy Giving

Legacy or planned giving provides you the road map to donate to a charity now or later while enjoying financial benefits. These gifts are well thought out, planned, and may require advice from your personal advisor. Unlike giving cash, they're usually property or investments that your favorite charities benefit from after your passing.

Most planned gifts are bequests in your will or living trust. Some plans may include:

  • Donating money that pays you back in retirement, known as Charitable Gift Annuities
  • Giving property or investments that provide you an income
  • Setting up an Endowment Fund that gives money to charity over time
  • Giving part of your retirement savings or life insurance
  • Leaving part or all of your home to charity

Planned giving is for all individuals looking to leave a legacy for the benefit of EC3 students. Your planned gift can make a big difference.
