Legacy Circle

The term “planned giving” is traditionally reserved for large gifts that often require detailed planning in consultation with an attorney, tax accountant, or other financial advisors. Typically, such planning includes a review of your objectives in making the gift and the impact of the gift on your financial and estate planning.

Among the instruments most frequently used in making a planned gift to Fowler Center are bequests (wills), charitable remainder trusts, and charitable gift annuities. In addition to these gift methods, there are other philanthropic investment instruments that also have important charitable gift applications.
