Planned Giving

A Planned Gift is generally considered to be a gift involving estate planning, such as a bequest through a will or a gift involving a trust. Often a planned gift is a gift of assets rather than cash, such as a gift of securities, and a planned gift can also be a gift that occurs in the future rather than a gift of cash today.

The following pages will offer ideas as to how you can be a part, truly a partner, in the shaping and developing of our future through your gifts and support of Wichita State University. Your rewards will be more than the potential tax savings. In helping others can be found unequaled personal and emotional fulfillment.

There are as many different ways to support Wichita State University as there are needs for your support. Planning a gift is more than just finding a need. There are a lot of factors to consider. If you are not familiar with the concepts and strategies of charitable gift planning, you might want to take a moment to consider some of the factors in planning for the future. And check out our chart briefly describing some of the charitable means that are available to you - see How Can I...?

The stories that follow this page share some of the different ways people can become partners with us in changing lives. Take a moment to see how people - perhaps in circumstances similar to yours - have found ways to support  their charities and in turn enriched their hearts and provided needed support to others.

We would like to assist you in making certain your intentions will be carried out. We would also like to extend an invitation to you to join our planned giving society, the Society of 1895. If you have not written a will yet, regardless of your charitable intent, please consider this.
