Make Your Dream Come True for the University You Love
You can make a gift that leaves a lasting personal legacy of support for scholarship, teaching and research. Whether you are considering a gift to one of Tufts' schools, or to the university as a whole, the Gift Planning Office is here to help. We can work with you, your family, and your advisers to help you create a plan that meets both your financial and philanthropic goals.
Popular gift plans include:
- A bequest from your will.
- Gifts that provide income for life, including charitable gift annuities and charitable remainder trust.
- Naming Tufts as the remainder beneficiary of your IRA or other retirement plan.
Tip of the Day
You can give your residence or vacation home to Tufts, take an immediate income tax deduction, and retain the right to live there for the rest of your life.
A retained life estate allows you to use what may be your most valuable asset to make a gift to us without disturbing the security of your living arrangements.
