Types of Gifts Unrestricted Unrestricted gifts are directed to the Annual Fund, the medical school's only source of flexible current-year funds. Restricted Gifts may be directed to any existing fund at the MCV Foundation for the benefit of a particular specialty or program to support the donor's personal interest. Any additional income is reinvested to the fund. The stock market makes this a desirable means of giving. Bequest For many donors, a gift made through their will is the best way to make a substantial contribution.
Donors can leave a specific dollar amount or a percentage of their estate.
Through a bequest, a donor can make a gift without depleting current assets and can reduce federal estate taxes. If you have included the School of Medicine in your will or have made a life income gift indicating the medical school as the beneficiary, please let us know so that we may recognize you in The Heritage Society. Whether it is a simple gift annuity or a charitable unitrust, the MCV Foundation offers a skilled, turn-key approach that makes this method of giving simple for those who could benefit from income generation. These gifts allow a donor to give and receive at the same time. Professional investment management Other Gifts Gifts of life insurance, a retirement plan designation, real estate or other kinds of property are all options for donors.
