Giving Wisely

Thank you for your interest in supporting the Associate Alumnae of Douglass College. Your generosity will help us meet our current goals and reach farther in the future. We encourage you to plan your gift thoughtfully. Now is the time, and this website is the place, to consider how your gift can benefit you as well as the Associate Alumnae of Douglass College.

Your gift can take multiple forms and can help you address a variety of personal financial goals. Do you want to make a significant gift during your lifetime, or would a gift as part of your estate work better? Do you have a particular asset that you are thinking of donating? Do you want to increase your retirement income, or is your primary goal estate preservation? Are you carrying excess life insurance or a large balance in your retirement plan?

We are ready to work with you and your advisors to craft the gift plan that satisfies you. Travel through the Gift Tree to help you decide what will work best. But first, use the following guide to help you weigh your options.
