A planned gift may enable you to make a more significant gift than you thought possible while at the same time allowing you to achieve your financial goals. Planned gifts help you take advantage of tax, financial and estate planning options. With assistance, you can tailor your gift to help meet the needs of current students while also providing yourself with tax benefits. Learn more about some of the options in planned giving.
You can leave a permanent legacy for AU and GWC students through an endowed scholarship. Income earned from the endowed fund provides financial assistance to future students in perpetuity, while the initial investment remains in tact in the endowment account. For more information, please contact Lori Steiner at 630-844-3778 or lsteiner@aurora.edu.
