Ways to Give

Giving options provide exceptional planning strategies and flexibility and may minimize tax implications.

• Reduce your income taxes
• Avoid capital-gain tax
• Increase your spendable income
• Retain payments for life
• Achieve no-cost, worry-free asset management

Types of Giving Include:

Gifts of Assets
Creative gifts of assets can provide you with charitable deductions, but often offer additional tax savings as well...

Gifts by Will
Through various types of bequests, you may support the University of Illinois Foundation for years to come...

Gifts That Pay You Income
Do you want to support the University of Illinois Foundation, but worry about having enough income for yourself and your loved ones?

The Charitable Lead Trust
With careful planning, you may be able to arrange transfers to accomplish more than one objective.

Gifts of Retirement-Plan Benefits
Because of the estate- and income-tax treatment of retirement-plan benefits, the cost of your gift to your estate and heirs is often relatively small.
