Effective gift planning helps you make meaningful contributions that provide life-changing opportunities for SPSCC students while meeting your personal financial planning goals.
Through a legacy gift, you or your family can create a meaningful, everlasting legacy for yourselves and future generations. You can designate the SPSCC Foundation as a beneficiary through life insurance or retirement plans. Or you can make a bequest as part of your will or trust.
You can contribute cash, securities (e.g. stock transfers), or other assets through a Donor Advised Fund (DAF) charitable account to make effective contributions to student success. Be sure to ask your Financial Advisor for information specific to your goals.
Here are resources to help you explore goals for directing your generous support towards making the greatest impact.
