Gift planning may enable you to make a more significant gift than you thought possible while also allowing you to achieve both financial and philanthropic goals. In other words, you can plan for the future of the College of Chemistry while planning for your own future, as well. There are many giving options from which you can choose—from naming the college as a beneficiary in your will to more complex arrangements that can provide life income for you or your family in addition to substantial tax savings.
