Planned Giving

Supporting Cornell Plantations is a wonderful thing. Gaining immediate benefits from your generosity while increasing the impact of your giving is even better. By working with a professional advisor in Cornell’s Office of Trusts, Estates & Gift Planning, you can create a plan that meets your individual needs, secures your family’s future, and strengthens Plantations—all at the same time.

Planned gifts include:

• Bequest intentions in a will
• Beneficiary designations in a trust, retirement plan, or life insurance policy
• Charitable life-income agreements (gift annuity, charitable remainder trust, pooled life income fund)
• Charitable lead trusts
• Gifts of real estate with retained life use
• Flexible endowments

The benefits of gift planning for you are many:

• Earn income
• Pay fewer taxes
• Secure your retirement
• Enhance your net estate for your heirs
• Get more from your real estate
• Create a personal legacy at Cornell Plantations
