It may have been. Writing a check is certainly the easiest way to make a gift. On
the other hand, the right gift might make your contribution go even further. Don't
miss out on valuable tax savings on options that allow your own dollars to grow,
or on gifts that don't even require cash. When Bob and Mary make their next
gifts, they may write out a check. They may also want to consider the gift planning
idea described below.
GIFT PLANNING IDEA (five in a series of six)
Here's a way to earn extra dollars for retirement while making a gift to the
University. It's called a deferred gift annuity.
• Like a gift annuity, you make a contribution * to the University of Minnesota
Foundation and tell us how you would like your gift to be used.
• We'll then pay you an amount starting at a time of your choosing - many opt
for the year in which they retire.
• I ncome payments are based on age and on the number of years payments are
deferred. The younger you are and the longer the deferral, the greater your
income will be.
+ minimum required; deduction based on age and deferral
We can tell you more. Write to us at the address below. Or call us at 612/626-2226.
We're ready to assist you - to make your gift the right gift for all of us.
