You can shape Idaho’s future with transformative education while earning an income from your gift.
Charitable Gift Annuities
When you set up a charitable gift annuity for U of I, you receive fixed payments for life and enjoy significant tax advantages. In addition, interest rates on charitable gift annuities are usually more attractive than certificates of deposit (CDs) and other bank rates.
How it works:
- You donate cash or securities to the University of Idaho (our minimum donation is $10,000).
- You receive fixed quarterly payments for the rest of your life, at an appealing rate.
- Your gift will benefit you now and benefit U of I students of the future.
Benefits to you include:
Lifetime payments that will never change.
Capital gains tax savings when you fund your CGA using appreciated stock.
You are eligible for an immediate charitable income tax deduction.
Your gift passes to U of I outside of the estate process.
You create your legacy of excellence in education.
Charitable Remainder Trusts
A Charitable Remainder Trust (CRT) is a tax-free trust that pays you and/or other beneficiaries an annual distribution. This payment is either a percentage of the annual value of the trust, or a percentage of the original gift amount.
How it works:
- You donate cash or securities to the University of Idaho (our minimum donation is $100,000).
- You receive payments for life, or for a fixed number of years, in return.
Benefits to you include:
You receive income for life for you or your heirs.
You receive a charitable income tax credit for the charitable portion of the trust.
You create your legacy of excellence in education.
