There are several benefits to planned giving. Legacy gifts allow donors to leave a lasting legacy and ensure their life’s work continues to make a difference for generations to come. Unlike annual gifts, estate gifts can support endowments or long-term initiatives, providing stable funding that helps the department plan for the future and weather economic uncertainties. Legacy gifts can also offer financial flexibility that won’t affect day-to-day finances and provide substantial tax benefits to the donor’s estate. Legacy gifts celebrate a life and provide a meaningful way to honor a memory of someone special.
