During the Ever Elon Campaign, faculty and staff members have taken advantage of planned giving to make a powerful difference in the lives of students while providing for themselves and their loved ones.
Each day, faculty and staff create legacies through their work with students. By making a planned gift, they can make those legacies permanent without sacrificing their lifestyles or retirement plans. In addition, planned giving enables most donors to make their largest contributions to Elon.
All planned or deferred gifts, regardless of the size, make a difference to students and help secure Elon’s future. They will play a critical role in finishing the $100 million Ever Elon Campaign this year. There are many ways to make a planned gift, including the following options:
- Simply naming Elon as a beneficiary in your will
- Naming Elon as a partial beneficiary of your retirement plan
- Establishing a charitable trust through gifts of appreciated property or real estate
Faculty and staff may visit www.elon.edu/giftplanning to review Elon’s gift-planning tools and see which planned gift is right for them. If you have put Elon in your estate, please let us know so your gift can be counted in the campaign. Contact Jamie Killorin, director of gift planning, at 877.784.3566 or jkillorin2@elon.edu for more information.
