WAYS TO LEAVE YOUR LEGACY
GIFTS IN YOUR WILL
With as little as one sentence, you can make a gift in your will or trust that significantly impacts current and future generations of students. Whether you choose a specific amount, percentage of your estate, or contingency bequest, your gift will represent your commitment to Neumann.
Sample Language
I give, devise, and bequeath (all, specific amount, percentage, or remainder) to Neumann University, a 501(c)(3) organization located in Aston PA, 19014 (Federal Tax ID #23-1657958) for Neumann University's general use and purpose.
Please contact walmslef@neumann.edu if you are considering a bequest for a specific purpose. A gift agreement may be necessary to ensure your gift will be used as intended.
*Please use the above as a guideline. We recommend you seek an attorney’s assistance.
GIFTS FROM YOUR IRA (Charitable Rollover)
If you are 70 1/2 years old or older, you can take advantage of a simple way to give to Neumann and receive tax benefits in return. You can give (up to $105,000) from your IRA directly to Neumann without having to pay income taxes on the gift while satisfying your required minimum distribution. Contact your IRA plan administrator to make a gift.
GIFT AS A BENEFICIARY
Naming Neumann as a beneficiary of one of your assets, such as a retirement plan or life insurance policy, is a convenient way to leave your legacy. To make Neumann a beneficiary, you will need to complete a beneficiary designation form provided by the custodian of the plan. Designating Neumann as a beneficiary will allow Neumann to receive the full amount and your estate will receive a charitable tax-deduction for the gift.
DONOR-ADVISED FUNDS
A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a charitable investment account for the sole purpose of supporting charitable accounts you care about. Held by a sponsoring organization (often a financial institution or community foundation), gifts to a DAF are immediately deductible for federal income-tax purposes, however your distributions to charities can be gifted over time. There is no additional income-tax deduction when a distribution is made from the DAF because a deduction was obtained for the original transfer to the DAF.
To donate using your donor-advised fund, please make your grant recommendation to Neumann University.
