Gifts through your Estate Plan<!wide>

A provision in your will or living trust that directs a portion of your estate to Graceland University is one type of bequest. A charitable bequest to Graceland not only furthers your lifetime commitment to the University, but also provides significant estate tax benefits. A gift made after one's life is often the most realistic way for many to make a significant contribution to Graceland.

Bequest options:

• Bequest
• Trusts
  You can benefit your family and Graceland, and save taxes with a gift plan that designates Graceland as beneficiary.
• Retirement Plans
  It can be advantageous to first use tax-deferred assets, such as retirement plans and IRA's, to fund charitable bequests.
