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.

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.
