With planned giving, you can balance your personal financial goals and charitable giving goals while achieving important tax benefits.
You will be able to make a meaningful gift to the college and retain use of the gift for your lifetime or the lifetime of your beneficiary. Planned giving can help you:
- Increase your income
- Reduce your income taxes
- Reduce your estate taxes
- Reduce or avoid capital gains taxes
- Pass assets to family at a reduced cost
- Greatly benefit the college
- Designate the use of your gift by the college
There are two basic categories of planned gifts at Agnes Scott College: estate gifts and life income gifts. The following links offer additional details.
Recognition of Your Planned Gift
The
Frances Winship Walters Society recognizes alumnae and friends who support Agnes Scott through their estate plans or other planned gifts. The Society is comprised of more than 600 alumnae and friends who have made a legacy commitment to Agnes Scott. Donors who join the Society are welcomed with a letter from President Kiss and a lapel pin that is designed from an architectural feature of Buttrick Hall. Every spring during Alumnae Weekend, members of the Society are acknowledged with a special reception.
