What is Gift Planning

Gift planning is finding ways to make charitable gifts now or after your lifetime while enjoying financial benefits for yourself.

Planned gifts are sometimes referred to as "stop-and-think" gifts because they require some planning and, often, help from your professional advisors. Unlike cash donations, they are typically made from assets in your estate rather than disposable income, and come to fruition upon your death.

Benefits of Gift Planning

A planned gift may enable you to make a more significant gift than you thought possible while at the same time achieving your financial, philanthropic and estate planning goals. There are many types of planned gifts that allow you to make certain you have provided for your heirs while at the same time giving you the opportunity to create your TC3 legacy. Integrated into your overall financial plan, gift planning allows you to make a significant impact on the College and invest in the success of future generations of TC3 students. Building Futures, the TC3 Foundation’s Financial and Gift Planning newsletter, highlights gift planning options to consider during the estate planning process.

Please consult your professional legal and financial advisor during the estate and gift planning process.
