Planned Giving
Gifts From Your Will or Trust: The Details
Is this gift right for you?
A gift from your will or trust is for you if:
- You want to help ensure the future viability and strength of Indian River State College Foundation.
- Long-term planning is more important to you than an immediate income tax deduction.
- You want the flexibility of a gift commitment that doesn't affect your current cash flow.
Your bequest to support our mission should be planned thoughtfully. Many good planning techniques are available, and you should choose the type of bequest that best suits your personal objectives.
For example, your bequest can be a stated dollar amount, or you can bequeath specific property to Indian River State College Foundation. Some of our friends prefer to bequeath a certain percentage of the remainder of their estate—the amount that remains after paying all debts, costs, and other prior legacies. (You can visit our Sample Gift Language to get you started.)
Whichever form you prefer, your gift will be used in support of the overall mission of Indian River State College Foundation. Whatever your objectives, we will be happy to work with you in planning a bequest that will be satisfying, economical, and effective in carrying out your wishes in our important mission.

Create a Lasting Legacy
Philanthropic planning is a powerful mechanism for meeting personal estate planning objectives while making a meaningful impact on the College’s initiatives and mission. At Indian River State College, we welcome the opportunity to work with estate planners to ensure that your clients find the charitable arrangements that best meet their needs.
Estate-planning options can achieve significant tax benefits while furthering a client’s philanthropic goals:
- Gifts through a will or trust
- Charitable trusts and gift annuities
- Donation of stocks and mutual funds
If your client has already included or intends to include Indian River State College in their will or estate plan, or if you would like someone from IRSC Institutional Advancement to contact you to discuss how to support IRSC as part of their estate planning strategy, please contact us.
