There are many ways to provide financial assistance to our programs and students. You may wish to make an outright gift or consider a deferred gift arrangement. You can designate your gift for unrestricted purposes to support the Dean's priorities, or you may designate it for use by a particular Extension program of your choice.
Some donors make one-time gifts.
Others choose to satisfy their commitment over a period of time through a pledge payable over a specified period of time. Gifts with a retained interest can provide donors with lifetime income and many donors remember UCLA Extension through a planned gift such as a bequest in their will or living trust. As with all financial considerations, we encourage you to discuss potential tax advantages and other aspects of charitable giving with your attorney, tax advisor, or financial consultant. Gifts of Endowment A gift of endowment demonstrates your farsighted commitment to the University. An endowment is a fund that is maintained in perpetuity, and only a portion of the annual investment return is used for the purposes specified by the donor.
