GIFT AND ESTATE PLANNING

Bequests and other planned gifts are some of the greatest sources of funding for Georgia Tech. These gifts stabilize Tech's financial foundation, securing the future of Tech while perpetuating a legacy of giving:

  • ESTATE GIFTS
    • Will or Living Trust Provisions enable you to direct the distribution of your assets at your death.
    • Retirement-Plan Assets are a tax-wise and easy way to make a gift for Georgia Tech's future.
    • Life Insurance also can provide security for Tech's future.
  • LIFE-INCOME GIFTS
    • Charitable Gift Annuity is a great way to support Georgia Tech's future while supplementing your and/or your spouse's retirement income with the assurance of fixed quarterly payments.
    • Charitable Remainder Trust is a popular way of making a significant gift to Georgia Tech while providing income to the donor and/or other beneficiaries through fixed or variable payments.
  • OTHER GIFT PLANS
    • Charitable Lead Trusts allows you to provide a stream of gifts to Tech for a number of years, and then transfer assets to heirs at a reduced tax level.
    • Retained Life Estate means giving your home to Georgia Tech and receiving a charitable deduction now with you and your spouse living there for your lifetimes
