Planned Giving

Giving from Your 401k or IRA Retirement Plan

Leave family the balance of savings and checking accounts, and donate double-taxed assets like IRAs to us.



You've worked hard and planned for retirement. Now, with a little creativity, you can leverage your retirement assets to benefit you and your family, reduce federal taxes, and support Indian River State College Foundation far into the future.

How It Works

  • Name or designate Indian River State College Foundation as a beneficiary of your IRA, 401(k), or other qualified retirement plan.
  • Pass the balance of your retirement assets to Indian River State College Foundation by contacting your plan administrator.
  • Important! Tell Indian River State College Foundation about your gift. Your plan administrator is not obligated to notify us, so if you don't tell us, we may not know.
