Bequests

Make a gift for Morris College’s future that doesn’t affect your cash flow or portfolio now. Add a bequest to your will (cash, specific property, or a share of the estate residue). Today – a gift that costs you & your family nothing. Tomorrow – an estate tax deduction.

Charitable Gift Annuity

Retain income benefits from the assets you give to Morris College– and thus afford a larger gift. Create a charitable gift annuity or a charitable remainder annuity trust or uni-trust. Receive income for your lifetime; receive a charitable deduction and diversify your holdings. Reduce high tax liability now; gain additional income later.

Charitable Lead Trust

Reduce gift and estate taxes and control the timing of passing assets to your children and grandchildren. Create a charitable lead trust to support Morris College for a fixed, finite period with the principal going to your heirs. Reduce gift and estate taxes, and freeze the taxable value of growing assets before they pass to your family.

Life Insurance

Partnership & Business Interest

Avoid capital gains liability on the transfer of a business or partnership interest. Contribute the partnership interest or closely-held stock to Morris College and avoid capital gains liability. Receive an income tax deduction, and utilize a gift asset you may have overlooked.

Real Estate Gifts

Make a gift of real estate to Morris College and avoid capital gains tax. Receive an income tax deduction – and have the option of a gift that doesn’t affect your lifestyle.
