During the Ever ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Campaign, faculty and staff members have taken advantage of planned giving to make a powerful difference in the lives of students while providing for themselves and their loved ones.
Each day, faculty and staff create legacies through their work with students. By making a planned gift, they can make those legacies permanent without sacrificing their lifestyles or retirement plans. In addition, planned giving enables most donors to make their largest contributions to ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ.
All planned or deferred gifts, regardless of the size, make a difference to students and help secure ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ’s future. They will play a critical role in finishing the $100 million Ever ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Campaign this year. There are many ways to make a planned gift, including the following options:
- Simply naming ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ as a beneficiary in your will
- Naming ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ as a partial beneficiary of your retirement plan
- Establishing a charitable trust through gifts of appreciated property or real estate
Faculty and staff may visit to review ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ’s gift-planning tools and see which planned gift is right for them. If you have put ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ in your estate, please let us know so your gift can be counted in the campaign. Contact Jamie Killorin, director of gift planning, at 877.784.3566 or jkillorin2@elon.edu for more information. If you are interested in making ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ a partial beneficiary of your TIAA-CREF retirement plan, to download the form.
