Deferred Gifts

Deferred Gifts can be divided into two categories: Estate Gifts and Life Income Gifts.

Estate Gifts

The law permits a 100% estate tax deduction when you make a bequest to the College in your will. Your gift can be “restricted” or “unrestricted” and can be a specific amount, a percentage of your estate or a residuary amount. The gift can consist of cash, securities, real estate or personal property.

Life Income Gifts

Life Income Gifts use your present assets for your benefit during your lifetime and the remainder is gifted to the College:

• Charitable Remainder Unitrust
• Charitable Remainder Annuity Trust
• Charitable Gift Annuity
• Deferred Payment Gift Annuity

When you name Manhattan College in your will or make a planned gift to the College, you are automatically enrolled in the Covenant Society. Members of this prestigious society are recognized annually in the College’s Honor Roll of Donors and are invited to special functions.
