Planned Gifts • $15 million
By the 2006-2007 fiscal year ending May 31, nearly $3 million in new planned gifts had been made to Bethel University—all counting toward the campaign goal. Those who established such plans with Bethel became honored members of the Royal Heritage Society.
Planned gifts include will provisions, trusts, annuities and gifts of IRA assets, pension plans, and insurance proceeds. These thoughtful commitments are often designated for Bethel’s endowment, perpetuating the impact donors can have on the university. And several forms of planned gifts provide income and/or tax benefits.
The staffs at the Bethel Foundation and the Office of Development are highly qualified in developing charitable plans with donors. If you are interested in discussing such a gift, email d-wiersum@bethel.edu, or call 651.638.8050.
