With planned giving, you can provide long-lasting support for Wittenberg University while enjoying financial benefits for yourself.
You may be looking for a way to make a significant gift to help further our mission. A bequest is a gift made through your will or trust. It is one of the most popular and flexible ways that you can support our cause.
The following excerpts from thank you notes written to our donors by Wittenberg scholarship recipients show the impact you can make:
"In my honors class on poverty and development, we discussed what it means to serve and be served, and I have come to view the dictum of our university in a new light. We all have assets to give. We have resources that come from within and resources that we have acquired along our journeys. Thank you so much for sharing some of your resources with me so that I may develop my own assets to pass onto others."
—Catherine Stipe '12, recipient of the Renz-Hackenberg Memorial Scholarship
"I chose Wittenberg because I knew I would receive an excellent education—one that not only includes tough and interesting classes, but one that prepares me for life after college, and one that gets me ready for what is next to come. Thank you for helping to make this possible."
—Jonathan Mac Pozderac '12, recipient of the Eli Jensen Endowed Scholarship
A charitable gift annuity is a great way you can make a gift to our organization and benefit. You transfer your cash or property to our organization and we promise to make fixed payments to you for life at a rate based on your age.
An IRA rollover allows people age 70½ and older to reduce their taxable income by making a gift directly from their IRA.
