Wills, Trusts, & Annuities

Many Elms University Center donors can obtain substantial personal and tax benefits by making gifts through wills, trusts, annuities and other forms of deferred giving. In this way they also provide major benefits for the work which Elms University Center is helping to support. Contact Elms University Center - elms@elmsuniversitycenter.org - to learn more about bequests, life income arrangements or gifts involving real estate or closely held stock.

Pledges

Elms University Center considers all pledges to be a good faith expression of intent, but subject to possible future changes of circumstances and not legally binding, either upon the donor or upon his or her heirs.

Gifts of Securities

If you wish to make a gift of securities, please call, or ask your broker to call or email Elms University Center - elms@elmsuniversitycenter.org - for information. Gifts of securities can offer a double tax benefit: a tax deduction based on the current fair market value of the gift and the avoidance of capital gains taxes that would otherwise be assessed on the sale of the property.

End-of-year tax letter

All donations are tax deductible. Elms University Center is recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) public charity. If you donate more than $250 in a given calendar year, Elms University Center will send you an end-of-year tax letter with a summary of your donations.

Thank you for your generosity to help women grow and change the world!
