August is National Make-A-Will month.
Leave a legacy that ensures they know you were here and did all you could to help somebody else!
~First Lady Michelle Obama
Establish a Planned Gift at Voorhees University
- Your gift will help the University fulfill its mission
- You will enjoy a wide variety of tax benefits
- You will give to a cause that means a lot to you
There are several ways you can establish your legacy by including the University in your Will
Include the University in your Will
A bequest is a gift made through your will or trust. It is one of the most popular and flexible ways that you can support our cause.
Gifts of Stocks and Bonds
Donating appreciated securities, including stocks or bonds, is an easy and tax-effective way for you to leave a gift.
Gifts of Real Estate
Donating appreciated real estates, such as a home, vacation property, undeveloped land, farmland, ranch, or commercial property, is a viable way to assist the University.
Gifts of Retirement Assets
Donating part or all of your unused retirement assets such as a gift from your IRA, 401(k), 403(b), pension, or other tax-deferred plans can be easily accomplished.
Gifts of Cash
A gift of cash is always the easiest means of giving but not the only way.
Gifts of Insurance
If you have a life insurance policy that has outlasted its original purpose, consider making a gift to the University. Also, you can purchase a policy and name the University as owner and sole or one of the beneficiaries.
IRA Rollover Gifts
An IRA rollover allows people age 70½ and older to reduce their taxable income by making a gift directly from their IRA to the University.
Charitable Gift Annuity
A charitable gift annuity is a great way you can make a gift and benefit. When you transfer cash or property to the University, we make fixed payments to you for life at a rate based on your age. It helps not only the institution but continues to provide support to you.
