Planned Giving

Plan ahead with your giving and benefit now or in the future. This forward-thinking approach lets you plan your gift with the transfer of assets during your lifetime or as part of your estate plan. It’s considered “planned giving” because many donors’ assets are often not liquid, have tax consequences and are generally transferred via a will or other written means. Learn more below.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who can do planned giving?

Anyone and everyone! Planned giving is easy to do and you don’t have to be wealthy to do it.

What assets can my planned gift involve?

There are many assets you can designate for planned giving, such as a home or property, a life insurance policy, real estate, stocks, business holdings, a checking or savings account or simply naming UCPH in your will or trust for a modest amount.

Can my gift generate an income stream?

Sometimes, yes. In return for the donation of real estate, stocks or other assets, you can receive a series of regular payments.

Can my planned gift provide tax benefits?

Depending upon the type of gift, short-term and/or long-term tax benefits may apply. Donors at a variety of income levels can benefit. Be sure to consult with your financial or estate planner for more specifics.

Can my gift work in tandem with other family priorities?

Yes! Planned giving is not an “all or nothing” option. Gifts can exist side-by-side with other beneficiaries and personal priorities.
