Planned Giving
Giving
The long-term nature of a planned gift provides a legacy Lowell can count on in planning for the future. Through planned giving, it is no longer just the very wealthy who can leave a legacy and take advantage of the significant tax benefits to their estates.
How you can leave a legacy for Lowell in your will:
- Name a lump sum amount to go to Lowell.
- Leave a percentage of your assets to Lowell, or a percentage of your residual estate after payment of specific bequests and estate expenses.
- Leave appreciated securities such as stocks or bonds, personal property such as jewelry and art, or real property in marketable condition.
- Name Lowell as a beneficiary of an individual retirement fund or pension plan.
- Name Lowell as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy.
Other forms of gifts:
- A charitable remainder trust gives the donor the opportunity to donate assets to Lowell and continue to receive the income from them for life.
- A charitable lead trust can provide immediate cash to the school for a designated term, while retaining ownership of the asset by the donor or his designee.
