The 2011 Legacy Banquet

The Benefits of Gift Plans You can meet your personal financial goals and fulfill your charitable objectives through a variety of gift plan options: A gift annuity is a contractual agreement. In exchange for a gift of cash or securities, the University provides a fixed annual income for the donor for life. In addition to the annuity payment, the donor receives a charitable income tax deduction, and a portion of each annuity payment may be tax-free. A charitable remainder trust is a legal trust that allows the donor to bypass capital gains tax on the sale of appreciated assets. The donor receives a fixed or variable income for life and other favorable tax benefits. Thank you to our Legacy Circle members who have helped students through gift plans! Estate gifts are made by naming Cedarville University as a beneficiary of a will, IRA, or life insurance policy. Donors can transfer a specific asset, donate a percentage of their estate, or contribute remaining assets after providing for their loved ones. We are grateful to members of the William Gibson Society who have named Cedarville as a beneficiary of their estate! Your generosity is inspiring. Not only are you investing in students, you are securing the future of Cedarville University. We cannot thank you enough.
