Planned Giving

People with vision for the future shape the world around them. Your estate gift through your will, or a legacy gift while still living, will help fund current programs and build our endowment. A variety of giving instruments exist to help alleviate your tax burden and benefit our mission. Consult your tax attorney or contact the Development Office to discuss your options.

The following are examples of bequest statements that may be used as models by you and your attorney in preparing your bequest or trust designation. We welcome the opportunity to work with you and your advisers to develop language tailored to your specific needs. Such collaboration ensures that the correct legal language is used and that your wishes are accurately understood. For additional information, please contact Andrew Robison, Director of Development, at (614) 291-4674 x 109.
