Welcome to Planned Giving
at
Purdue University


Thank you for your interest in Purdue University. Our objective is to serve you and your family by providing current estate and charitable gift-planning information. An increasing number of Purdue alumni and friends are benefiting from life-income gifts, such as charitable gift annuities and charitable remainder trusts. Many more enjoy learning about these and other options through our eNewsletter and Web site.
 
Thank you for taking the time to explore the benefits of planned giving, and please feel free to share this information with your family, friends and colleagues.



Benefits for Family and Purdue University

There are several types of planned gifts. Many of these have wonderful benefits for the donors. Many of these families have enjoyed increased income and generous tax savings. Just click on the picture to view each story.

Gift Annuity for Real Estate
Jonathan purchased a home many years ago for $80,000. The home has appreciated substantially over the years and is now worth $420,000. Jonathan's wife of 45 years recently passed away. More on Gift Annuity for Real Estate >>.


Retirement Assets Make a Great Gift
Thomas Merrick was a widower who had a great love for our organization. As an individual who had directly benefited from our work, Thomas wanted to thank us with a gift from his estate. More on Retirement Assets Make a Great Gift >>.


Tax-Free Sale
Gene and Carol White were age 55 when they purchased some development land outside of town. They thought it would be a good investment that they could later sell for a higher price. They have owned the property for 10 years and now would like to sell. More on Tax-Free Sale >>.


Bequests for Scholarships
Joe and Anna have been faithful supporters of Purdue University over the years. They have visited the campus many times and have fond memories of those visits. Both of them strongly believe that it is important to support and encourage young people. More on Bequests for Scholarships >>.
