Why A Planned Gift?

Of the many ways of giving to the University of Washington, a planned gift may offer special advantages such as tax benefits or a current income stream. At the same time, your philanthropy is helping to create better futures for our community, our region, and the world beyond.

Together, we are partners in expanding education, advancing the frontiers of health, sustaining our natural environment, energizing the economy, and celebrating our diverse cultural richness and active civic life. The future holds the promise of advances we can only imagine today. Our staff can help you by incorporating your philanthropic goals into your estate and financial planning. At no cost or obligation we can provide you, or your advisor, with information about the University and a variety of gift-planning options including:

• Cash and securities donations
• Gifts that provide a life-time income for you or a beneficiary
• Gifts of real estate, tangible personal property, or other assets
• Bequests in a will or trust
• Gifts of retirement plan assets and life insurance

Together, with your support, we're creating better futures. See planned giving options.
