There are many ways to make a planned gift to La Roche College, with particular benefits for you, the donor, as well as for the College. Typically, a planned or deferred gift refers to assets that provide life income benefits to the donor and/or beneficiaries, either for the life of the beneficiary or for a set term of years. Upon the income beneficiary's death or the conclusion of the term of years, what is left, known as the "remainder," is a charitable gift to the College. Planned gifts are also called deferred gifts because, even though they are given today, La Roche will not realize their benefit until sometime in the future.

You may choose to make an outright gift of cash, real/personal property, life insurance, pooled income funds, gift annuities or securities, or use any of these sources to fund a deferred gift. Each gift offers an immediate tax benefit for you and your family. Whether your objective is to reduce your taxable estate, make a charitable gift while providing annual income for yourself or a designated beneficiary, or to make a long-term commitment while retaining the use of your capital, there are planned giving opportunities that will help you achieve your goal. A gift need not require a substantial outlay of capital to make a significant difference to the College, but it does require vision and commitment of the donor.
