Ways to Give
Your support of the School of Nursing is vital and will be truly appreciated. There are a variety of ways to make a gift (cash or securities or real estate), from an outright donation of any size to a major or large gift. A major gift can be spread across several years or done as an investment that will produce income for the donor or designee. The School's Alumni – Development Office can be of assistance in determining how to ensure that a gift supports a donor's interests, and the tax advantages that might be realized for both the donor and her or his heirs.
Gifts of Cash Pledges
You may wish to make a gift of cash or appreciated assets now and realize tax benefits immediately. Gifts of any size are needed. Pledges are welcome and may be paid over an agreed upon time line.
Making a Gift That Provides Income to You or Your Designee
You may wish to make a gift that will produce income that will go to you or your designee for rest of your life. Such a gift can also provide some immediate as well as estate tax benefits.
Making a Gift That Will Pass Money to Your Heirs
You may wish to make a gift that will make a gift of interest to the School during your lifetime (or for a set period of time) and then pass the bulk of the gift - plus interest - to your heir or heirs. You will receive gift credit now as well as tax benefits.
Making a Bequest
You may wish to make a lasting gift to the School but need all of your assets during your lifetime. You can make a bequest now as part of your estate plan and become a member of the UM Monteith Society.
