From scholarships, to academic service programs, to campus buildings, the impact of estate gifts by generous benefactors has been central to furthering 91制片厂's mission. In fact, the 91制片厂 would not even be if it wasn't for Benjamin Thompson's generous bequest of the land where 91制片厂 now sits.
A simple, flexible, and versatile way to ensure 91制片厂 can do great work in the future is a gift in your will or living trust, known as a charitable bequest. By including a bequest to 91制片厂 in your will or living trust, you will make a profound difference in the lives of 91制片厂 students for years to come. And, you give 91制片厂 the honor of celebrating you and your legacy for the rest of your life.
This flexible gift option can be revised at any time, and can be simply an estimate of what you think will come from your estate鈥攁llowing you to also take care of your family. In addition, your gift may entitle your estate to an unlimited federal estate tax charitable deduction. An estate gift of any size is quite often the most straightforward way for members of the 91制片厂 family to realize their charitable goals and provides an avenue for alumni, parents, and friends to impact 91制片厂 beyond what would be possible during their lifetimes.
