| Planned Giving |
Through effective gift
planning, you can balance personal financial goals with your interest
in supporting WQUB, and realize significant tax benefits. We encourage
you to contact us at 217-228-5432 ext.4006 or email Maureen Hill hillma@quincy.edu
<mailto:hillma@quincy.edu>. We will be glad to answer questions,
review your unique circumstances, and let you know about the full range
of giving opportunities available at WQUB.
Bequests
Many people don't consider estate planning because they feel they don't
have a large enough .estate. to protect. Bequests of all sizes are
valuable to WQUB. Whether you wish to donate your entire estate, a
portion of your estate, a fixed dollar amount, or a percentage of your
assets, bequests are easy to make. If you already have an existing
will, your attorney can help you add a new gift or change a provision
by making a simple amendment (a codicil). We are happy to assist you
and your advisor through the estate planning process by providing
language and documents to ensure your giving objectives are met.
If you would like to leave an unrestricted bequest to WQUB in your
will, you may use the following wording: .I hereby give, devise, and
bequeath (insert dollar amount, percentage of estate, or residuary) to
WQUB, a non-profit corporation, for its general purposes.. Please notify us if you
include WQUB in your will as we would like to acknowledge your
generosity and express our gratitude for your support of WQUB.
Gifts of Stock
Please contact us to discuss the various means to donate stock to WQUB.
Please note that your name will not accompany an electronic transfer of
shares, so it is very important that you notify us of your intent. We
would enjoy the opportunity to thank you and would like to make sure
your intentions are carried out properly.
Life Insurance or Retirement Assets
This may be as simple as declaring WQUB a beneficiary of your insurance
policy or retirement fund. Your retirement plan benefits advisor or
your life insurance professional can help you to make this designation.
General Advice and Information
Please consult with an attorney or financial advisor regarding your
planned giving decisions. They will be able to provide tax and legal
advice specific to your needs. |
