Giving to SIUE Home

 

Welcome to Southern Illinois University Edwardsville Foundation Gift Planning Site

There are many ways to support SIUE besides cash contributions.  Donors may make an immediate impact through outright gifts.  Donors may also choose to make an impact in the future by taking advantage of the gift planning process and choosing to create a life income gift, a life insurance gift or a bequest.  Most of these gifts, however, require more planning for the donor, their professional advisor and the SIUE Foundation.  With the help of the Foundation staff, this gift planning process can yield greater and more beneficial results for both the donors and SIUE.

Benefits For Family and Southern Illinois University Edwardsville Foundation

There are several types of plans. Many of these have wonderful benefits for the gift donors. Many of these families have enjoyed increased income and generous tax savings. You might start by meeting these friends. Just click on the picture and you can view each story.


Bequests for Scholarships
Joe and Anna have been faithful supporters of Southern Illinois University Edwardsville Foundation over the years. They have visited the campus many times and have fond memories of those visits. Both of them strongly believe that it is important to support and encourage young people. More on Bequests for Scholarships >>.


Tax-Free Sale
Gene and Carol White were age 55 when they purchased some development land outside of town. They thought it would be a good investment that they could later sell for a higher price. They have owned the property for 10 years and now would like to sell. More on Tax-Free Sale >>.


Fixed Income for Retirement
After working for decades as a pediatrician in a small rural town, Patricia Brown was ready to retire. Patricia owned some stock but was concerned about leaving it in the market where it could go up or down. She needed a secure source of retirement income for the future. More on Fixed Income for Retirement >>.


Peace of Mind Gift Annuity
Many years ago, Clara Lehman bought a home. Since she was so pleased with the home, she decided to buy stock in the company that builds and sells homes like it. Over the years, the stock has increased in value many times, but the value has been volatile. More on Peace of Mind Gift Annuity >>.
