You believe in the work of the Intercollegiate Studies Institute, and you want to ensure that we will continue to "educate for liberty" in each new generation. You want your gift to make a difference for us, but are concerned about your own future financial needs and those of your family.

We deeply appreciate your assistance, and try to make it as rewarding for you as it is for us. That's why we want you to know about the financial tools you can use to plan your gift to us in a way that returns benefits to you.

  • You don't have to use cash to make your gift -- you can give us appreciated securities instead, and receive an immediate income tax deduction while avoiding all capital gain on asset appreciation!
  • You may be holding assets that would benefit ISI more than they do you -- such as a life insurance policy that you no longer need, a parcel of real estate like a second home or undeveloped land, or a collection of books or artwork that you no longer have room to display.
  • You can make a gift that costs you nothing during your lifetime - makes us a beneficiary of your will or revocable trust, or a beneficiary of your retirement plan, without reducing your current income or disrupting your existing financial plans.
  • You can make ISI a partner in your giving -- you can deed us your home but continue to live there, you can sell us property at a charitable discount, and you can make a gift that pays you lifetime income.

These tools are called planned gifts, and this website is the place to learn more about them. Where to start? If you already know something about your giving options, click on Ways to Give Wisely and go right to the planned gifts that you want to read more about. If you're not sure how a gift can meet both your charitable and personal goals, first go to Discover the Benefits of Giving Wisely to learn how planned gifts work and how they can stretch your giving ability.
