Everyday, the lives of students at the University of Regina are enriched because someone has given to this institution. The vast majority of gifts by individuals have been simple donations that come either entirely unsolicited or through the Annual Fund, the Major Gifts Program, or special campaigns. In today's world, however, more and more thoughtful alumni and friends are also making provisions to give to the University through their estates because this type of gift benefits everyone involved. There are important reasons for considering a Planned Gift . Planned Gifts provide support for areas of learning and research that you consider important, thereby ensuring that the University's graduates and researchers will continue to be well- educated and competitive in the future.
Planned Gifts are usually tax deductible.
A well planned donation will reduce income taxes, either in the current year, in your estate's final tax return, or both. Planned Gifts ensure that your legacy will live on through the gift and the students it ultimately benefits. The University Relations office at the University of Regina is pleased to assist you and your financial advisor in creating a Planned Gift which will both meet your philanthropic goals and achieve the greatest tax benefit for you. There are many Planned Giving options available to donors who wish to support the University of Regina. By consulting with your financial advisor and Darlene Woywoda , the Manager of Planned Giving at the University of Regina, you'll determine which vehicle best suits you.
