PLANNED GIVING
LEAVING A LEGACY OF OPPORTUNITY
Planned gifts benefit students for generations to come
Planned gifts such as bequests or charitable trusts are an ideal way to maximize your future generosity on behalf of Berry students while also securing important financial benefits for you and your family today. There are many different ways to include Berry in your financial and estate planning, all offering potential to help you:
- Leave a legacy for Berry students
- Provide for you or your loved ones
- Secure immediate income and/or gift/estate tax deductions
As a planned giving donor, you have the opportunity to designate your gift to something specific - a scholarship endowment or program, for example - or to "wherever need is greatest," thus offering future flexibility to college leaders seeking to preserve and enhance the opportunities available to students.
If you have already made provisions for Berry in your estate, please let us know so we can recognize you as a member of the Berry Heritage Society.
To learn more about planned giving at Berry, please contact Helen Lansing at 706-378-2867 or hlansing@berry.edu. Financial and legal expertise are also available through our Planned Giving Council, an appointed network of CPAs, financial planners, stockbrokers, trust officers, etc. - many of them alumni.
