Estate and gift planning can benefit you and Monmouth College
Monmouth College is a very special place. For over 155 years, this private liberal arts college in Illinois has been educating and preparing our students to become leaders of their professions and communities. We are very grateful for the generous support of alumni, parents, and other friends who care about our institution and believe in the value of higher education. By clicking the links in this section, you will read information and stories about the ways you can make meaningful contributions that will strengthen Monmouth College now and in the future.
Thoughtful estate and gift planning can benefit the college and you, the donor. For example, by making a contribution of appreciated property (e.g., securities and real estate), you can receive a federal income tax deduction for the full fair market value of the property plus you avoid all capital gains tax. Some planned gifts -- charitable remainder trusts, gift annuities, and pooled income funds -- can provide reliable income to you in addition to a significant tax deduction. You can also leave your legacy at Monmouth by naming the college as a charitable beneficiary in your will, living trust, or life insurance policy.
Major and planned gifts are very important to the continued advancement and quality of Monmouth College. The college is proud and honored to recognize the generosity of alumni and friends. Several naming opportunities are available, including scholarships, endowed faculty chairs and professorships, classrooms and laboratories in buildings, academic program funds, etc.
Thank you for your interest and for visiting the Monmouth College Estate and Gift Planning web site. Please contact me to receive more information and to discuss the possibilities.
