Plan Today, Give Tomorrow, and Support Carolina's Future

There are many ways to demonstrate your passion for Carolina. One option - gift planning - is all about securing the future...for Carolina, for you and your family.

MANY BENEFITS
  • "We think we can make a positive impact on South Carolina by helping to improve the business school. And we always knew that one day we'd do a separate planned gift to the University."

    --Jimmy Addison, '82, '83 MACC, and Patti Addison, '82, who recently completed a simple yet tax-smart gift arrangement designating the Moore School as a beneficiary of their 401k retirement plan—and received a full match to boot.

About Gift Planning

Your generous support for Carolina through estate plans or life-income gifts helps secure the future, but also can provide you with security today.  Gift planning can be part of a smart plan that helps you realize your financial and your philanthropic goals.

The Office of Gift Planning at the University of South Carolina can assist you and your financial advisors with a plan that builds your legacy and supports this great University.  Gift planning may help you lessen or eliminate capital gains, and gift and estate taxes. You may see immediate tax savings as well.
