Planned Giving
A legacy gift is a living tribute to your dedication as a steward and guardian of the mission of Lourdes College. Legacy gifts allow your generosity to be acknowledged during your lifetime and in perpetuity, while celebrating your life and lighting the way for future generations.
The Lourdes College Legacy Society recognizes the generosity and vision of those who have chosen to leave a legacy through estate or deferred gifts to the College.
Enrollment in this honorary society is simply a matter of advising the College of your creation of a legacy gift: a bequest in a will or living trust; a charitable gift annuity; a charitable remainder trust; or designation as beneficiary of a retirement plan or life insurance policy.
Lourdes College welcomes gifts through your will or estate plan. Testamentary gifts are an important source of support for the College’s endowment and programs. Furthermore, these gifts allow you to retain complete control over your assets, leaving them unencumbered during your lifetime.
To make a gift to Lourdes College from your estate, you will need to sign a new will or add a codicil to your present will. A bequest to Lourdes College may be designated as a specific amount or a percentage of your estate. Alternatively, you may name Lourdes College the residual beneficiary of your estate.
For more information on making an estate gift, please contact Aileen Meyer, Director of Development, at 419-824-3813 or ameyer@lourdes.edu or speak with your financial advisor. |
