You believe in the work of Salve Regina, and you want to ensure that the university will be a force for good in the lives of generations to come. You want your gift to make a difference, but are concerned about your future financial needs and those of your family.

Salve Regina deeply appreciates your support, and wants to make giving as rewarding for you as it is for the university. That's why Salve Regina wants you to know about the financial tools you can use to plan your gift in a way that it returns benefits to you:

  • You don't have to use cash to make your gift — you can give appreciated securities instead, and use an asset that costs you less than the tax deduction you'll get for it today.
  • You may be holding assets that would benefit Salve Regina more than they do you — such as a life insurance policy that you no longer need, a parcel of real estate like a second home or undeveloped land, or a collection of books or artwork that you no longer have room to display.
  • You can make a gift that costs you nothing during your lifetime — make Salve Regina a beneficiary of your will or revocable trust, or a beneficiary of your retirement plan, and leave your cash flow and current financial planning uninterrupted.
  • You can make Salve Regina a partner in your giving — you can deed the university your home but continue to live there, you can sell the univerisy property at a charitable discount, and you can make a gift that pays you lifetime income.

These tools are called planned gifts, and this Web site is the place to learn more about them. Where to start? If you already know something about your giving options, click on Ways to Give and go right to the planned gifts that you want to read more about. If you're not sure how a gift can meet both your charitable and personal goals, first go to Benefits of Giving to learn how planned gifts work and how they can stretch your giving ability.
