Gift Planning
Each year, many Lafayette alumni fulfill their financial and philanthropic goals while making a meaningful gift to the College. Today, over 500 alumni have benefited from working with our office to explore ways to:
- Provide an income for life
- Transfer assets to heirs with tax savings
- Reduce or eliminate capital-gain taxes
- Make a leadership gift possible
- Leave a legacy at Lafayette in their name or in the name of someone they wish to honor
Planned gifts are a tremendous source of support for the College’s operations and endowment. The importance of these gifts are recognized through the James Madison Porter Society.
Lafayette currently has more than $31 million in deferred gifts under management through Bank of New York Mellon. These funds are managed separately from our endowment and provide a pipeline of future support for the College.
To learn more about making a planned gift, please contact us. We also encourage you to explore our interactive Estate Planned-Giving Web pages to learn more about the many ways you can support Lafayette while providing a benefit to you and your family.
