Planned Gifts
It’s never too early to start thinking about what you could leave behind – now could be the right time to create your legacy.
Planned gifts not only inspire and honor Spring Hill’s long standing tradition and legacy, but also influence the future of the College, so we can continue to ignite a passion among our students to become responsible leaders in service to others.
In addition to leaving a legacy for future generations of Springhillians, a planned gift also allows you to take advantage of many tax and income incentives. Here are a few options for making a planned gift:
Gifts From Your Will
One meaningful way to support Spring Hill College’s mission is to leave us a bequest in your will, living trust or with a codicil. There are numerous benefits to this type of gift: your bequest or trust designation will not be subject to any potential federal estate tax, you control the funding property during your lifetime, you may change your bequest designation at any time, and you will leave a lasting legacy, impacting future generations of deserving students.
Gifts From Retirement Accounts
Your retirement-plan benefits are very likely a significant portion of your net worth. And because of special tax considerations, they could make an excellent choice for funding a charitable gift.
Naming Spring Hill as the beneficiary of a qualified retirement plan asset such as a 401(k), 403(b), IRA, Keogh, profit-sharing pension plan or other donor-advised funds, will accomplish a charitable goal while realizing significant tax savings.
Charitable Gift Annuity
Do you want to support Spring Hill but worry about having enough income for yourself and your loved ones? Your Charitable Gift Annuity will give you quarterly, fixed payments for life, significant tax savings, and the ability to contribute philanthropically to Spring Hill with vital long-term resources.
