A charitable gift from your estate is a favored method of giving that enables you to achieve your financial goals, maintain control of your assets, and benefit Loyola.

While you may transfer many of your assets through your will or living trust, a document called a beneficiary designation controls distribution of your retirement plans, life insurance policies, commercial annuities and a variety of financial accounts.

The IRA charitable rollover (also called the Qualified Charitable Distribution, or QCD) is a great way to make a tax-free gift to Loyola.

Support Loyola while generating income for yourself and your family. Learn how these gifts allow you to achieve both of these goals.

Make a substantial gift to Loyola in the form of fixed annual payments and pass assets to your family or other heirs at reduced tax cost.

Donate your home, farm or a second home to Loyola and receive an immediate income tax charitable deduction, while retaining the right to live in your home for the rest of your life. If you itemize your deductions instead of taking the standard deduction you could save significant income taxes.

Receive immediate cash and make a gift to Loyola by selling to us a valuable asset, such as real estate, for less than it is worth.
