CREATIVE WAYS OF GIVING

Planned Giving has become an increasingly popular way of supporting Marywood. Gifts of cash securities, real estate or personal property can be given through various gift vehicles such as charitable trusts, gift annuities, and bequests. Have you considered including Marywood University in your will? Planned Giving enables you to give to Marywood in a way that is integrated into your total financial plan.

Planned gifts are generally commitments made in the present with the benefit to Marywood "deferred" until a future date. In its simplest form, a Deferred Gift is one in which assets are turned over to the University, either permanently or for a time, to which the donor retains some of the rights of ownership. Thus, benefactors can enjoy the satisfaction of having helped Marywood and her students while providing many financial and tax advantages for themselves.

Deferred Gifts may also be used as commitments to campaigns and to special projects, such as anniversary class gifts. They can be allocated to either current funds or to capital. For example, if you would like to memorialize someone you love, you may do so by using a deferred gift to establish an endowed scholarship in his/her name.

We urge you to consult with qualified professional counsel regarding gift plans and your financial, tax, and estate-planning options before making a gift. Marywood and its development staff provide general information only and do not offer legal, financial, or tax advice. All conversations held between prospective givers and the Office of Development are, of course, held in confidence and without obligation. To learn the benefits and more about ways you might give to Marywood and obtain more information - including illustrations tailored to your particular needs and circumstances - or to make a gift, contact the University's Office of Planned Giving.
