Gift Planning is a way to support Berea College while achieving philanthropic goals and enhancing financial security. With thoughtful gift planning, you can maximize the personal financial benefits of charitable giving and make a larger gift to Berea College than you ever thought possible.

Many planned gifts offer an immediate benefit for the donor and a delayed benefit for the College. With careful planning, it is possible to reduce or eliminate income and transfer taxes while turning appreciated assets into an income for yourself or others. Gift planning can also include outright gifts of appreciated property such as securities, real estate, and gifts of tangible personal property. Gift Planning offers a way to plan a meaningful gift that takes advantage of any available tax benefits.
