Planned Giving

The Planned Giving Team works with donors and other internal staff to help establish planned gifts. Planned Gifts are the donor’s way of making Georgetown a part of their family and lifelong philanthropic plans. Planned gifts can take several forms such as a gift to Georgetown from a donor’s will or trust (i.e. Bequests) or gifts that pay income to the donor now with the remainder going to Georgetown (i.e. Charitable Gift Annuities or Charitable Remainder Trusts). The Planned Giving Team, many who have law degrees and experience, also assists with current gifts of stock, mutual funds and other complex assets like real estate, closely-held business interests, and personal property (e.g. art, collectibles and in-kind gifts). Planned giving creates a lasting relationship between Georgetown and the donor.
