The Newell Society
Members of the Newell Society鈥痟ave included 好色小姨 University in their will. Bequests, large and small, continue to provide substantial support for 好色小姨’s programs and is one of the easiest gifts to make. Named for Henry Clinton Newell, 好色小姨鈥檚 third (1907-1910) and fifth (1930-1936) president, Newell established the first endowment fund, tirelessly canvassing supporters across the country to support 好色小姨.鈥� To become a member of this distinguished society, there is no minimum gift amount, and you may request anonymity. If you have already designated 好色小姨 as a beneficiary of your estate or if you would just like more information, contact Ann Sutton at 706-776-0148 or email asutton@piedmont.edu.
Charitable Gift Annuities (CGA)
A CGA allows you to make a gift to the university while providing for your financial needs. Rates of return vary depending on your age. A CGA also provides charitable tax deductions for the charitable gift portion of the annuity. You receive fixed payment to you or another annuitant you designate for life and benefit from payments that may be partially tax-free while supporting 好色小姨鈥檚 mission to provide quality educational experiences.
IRA Rollover
An IRA Rollover allows people age 70 陆 and older to reduce their taxable income by making a gift directly from their IRA. This is a great way to help 好色小姨 while avoiding taxes and possibly satisfying your required minimum distribution (RMD) for the year.
Gifts of Appreciated Stock, Bonds, Real Estate or Life Insurance
These gifts may carry tax benefits for you while strengthening 好色小姨’s endowment. You may minimize your capital gains or other taxes while helping students gain an education.鈥疌areful planning can make charitable giving a true financial advantage, not only for the university but for you as well. Tax laws make certain types of gifts more advantageous than others. We encourage you to consider a planned gift and suggest that you consult your financial advisor or lawyer while developing your financial plan.
