Planned Giving: Planned gifts have distinct tax advantages depending upon your financial situation. The University will be happy to speak with you about a variety of gift planning vehicles and how they can help you achieve your philanthropic goals while maximizing income and/or tax benefits.

IRA Charitable Rollover: Individuals who are 70½ or older may direct a charitable distribution from their traditional IRA to Caldwell University. This provision has a cap of $100,000 for charitable distributions from individual IRAs each year. Individuals may exclude the amount distributed directly to an eligible charity from their gross income. Donors will need to work with their professional advisers to determine the effect on their specific tax situation. Individuals MUST instruct their IRA trustee to make the contribution DIRECTLY to an eligible charitable organization. You may do so through a wire transfer using the information below:
