When a friend of Grace Christian University remembers the college in his or her will, the donor provides financial resources of lasting value to Grace students. A bequest may be unrestricted – that is used for a general purpose – or designated for a particular use.

Bequest may take one of several forms:

• A specific amount of cash or a specific asset
• A percentage of one’s net estate (for example, 20% of one’s estate after expenses and taxes are paid)
• A residual bequest (for example, whatever remains after family members of friends are cared for through specific amounts)
• A trust (for example, setting up a Charitable Remainder Trust that will pay out to beneficiaries for a period of time with the remainder to Grace)

If you have a plan in place, it should be reviewed regularly in order to account for any life changes (births, deaths, etc.). Also, as stewardship desires change, your trust document should be modified.

If you do not have a will or living trust arrangement, it is very important to contact an attorney to establish an estate plan. Create a free will in minutes through GiftWise. Get peace of mind as you plan for your family and personal assets, and support the mission of Grace Christian University. 

If you are 70 1/2 years old Congress has permanently authorized tax-free gifts from your IRA.

• You may contribute up to $100,000 per person to qualified 501 C-3 organizations.
• It will reduce your taxable income.
• Cut taxes on Social Security Benefits.
• While you cannot claim a charitable deduction for IRA gifts you will not pay income tax on the amount gifted.

To make a tax-free gift to Grace, simply contact your IRA plan administrators and then notify the development office of your plans so we may properly track and receipt this gift.
