An estate gift or bequest is provided through a will or living trust. Upon the donor s passing, the gift goes to the School of Veterinary Medicine for the intended purpose. Donors who choose to do so may notify the School of Veterinary Medicine that an estate gift has been planned. These donors are then recognized as members of our Fellowship for the Future. You may designate the School of Veterinary Medicine as the owner and beneficiary of a life insurance policy.
Ongoing premiums paid on a gifted life insurance policy also qualify for charitable deductions.
Your gift may be used to honor or memorialize a beloved pet, family member, or friend. Naming opportunities exist for endowed gifts such as scholarships, professorships, and chairs. Building projects such as the Wildlife Hospital of Louisiana, the Equine Intensive Care Unit, and the Cancer Treatment Unit also offer a wide variety of naming opportunities. Charitable gifts to the School of Veterinary Medicine are tax-deductible and may offer significant tax benefits. For more specific information, you should consult your tax advisor or a professional estate planner.
