Gifts That Pay You Income

Did you know there's a gift to Clemson University that returns payments to you? Yes, the IRS allows and encourages these creative plans that can stretch your giving ability. Here’s how they work:

Some of the best ways to support Clemson University are available through life-income gifts. These "Gifts That Pay You Income" help you make a substantial gift to Clemson University while increasing your income!

The plans described here all have one substantial advantage over investment vehicles you read about elsewhere: these plans produce generous gifts to Clemson University. So, while you will receive income for life or a set period of time, you can provide for yourself and the people we serve today.

The Benefits

  • An additional source of lifetime income for you, your spouse, or other significant persons.
  • A potential increase in the income you are currently receiving from your investments.
  • An immediate tax deduction for a portion of your gift.
  • No capital gains tax due at the transfer of appreciated assets to your gift plan.

Ways to Give Wisely

Give an Asset Instead of Cash

Using appreciated securities to make your gift can deliver more tax benefits to you than using cash.

Giving us personal property or business interests may be more beneficial than continuing to maintain them.

Plan a Gift in Your Estate

Your bequest helps ensure that we do the work that you support far into the future without affecting your assets during lifetime.

We offer a wise, charitable alternative to the double taxation awaiting your retirement plan in your estate.

You can turn surplus life insurance coverage into a charitable gift to Clemson University, or use a new policy to create an endowment from income instead of capital.

Partner With Us in Your Giving

Make a gift to our pooled income fund, and receive both income back and the benefits of a charitable mutual fund.

You can get a charitable deduction plus cash to use elsewhere with the part-gift/part-sale, charitable bargain sale.

You can donate your home and continue to live there.

You will receive stable lifetime payments that are taxed attractively when you create a charitable gift annuity.

You can receive income to help you meet many family obligations from a charitable remainder annuity trust or a charitable remainder unitrust, two of our most flexible giving options.

Increase your estate for your children while delivering years of income to Clemson University with a charitable lead trust.
