Create a Personal Legacy

You can express your enduring support for DePauw's liberal arts mission by making a gift at your death through your will, retirement plan, trust, or life insurance policy. You may reduce your estate taxes by doing so.

 

Earn Income, Pay Fewer Taxes, Secure Your Retirement

A life-income agreement allows you to make a gift to DePauw University while retaining income for you and/or someone you designate. The income may be fixed for life or vary with investment performance. Part of the income may be tax-free, and you may avoid capital-gain tax on gifts of appreciated property. You'll earn a charitable income-tax deduction for a portion of your gift.
