Planned gifts present an outstanding opportunity to meet your personal charitable goals at a level of giving you never thought possible — providing a financially secure future for you, your family, and Syracuse University. You may direct your planned gift to support the University's priorities, or whatever is most meaningful to you.

Our Office of Gift Planning will work in partnership with you and your legal, tax, and other advisors to design strategies and an integrated giving plan that's mutually beneficial to you and the University. A carefully crafted gift plan will secure SU's future and help you:

• Establish a personal legacy
• Earn income and lower taxes
• Save taxes on transfers to heirs
• Ensure financial security
• Avoid the retirement plan tax trap

Our easy-to-understand website will tell you about creative giving strategies – strategies that enhance you and your family's well being, as well as Syracuse University's.
