Will and Estate Plans - A charitable bequest is one of the easiest and most flexible ways that you can leave a gift to Cypress College Foundation that will make a lasting impact. You designate our organization as the beneficiary of your asset by will, trust or beneficiary designation.
IRA Charitable Rollover - The IRA Charitable Rollover allows you to transfer annual Required Minimum Distributions (RMD) directly to the Cypress College Foundation in order to exclude the distributions from taxable income while supporting our students.
Charitable Gift Annuity (CGA) - A CGA is an account established to support non-profits while achieving income tax savings. You transfer your cash or appreciated property to the Cypress College Foundation in exchange for our promise to pay you fixed payments (with rates based on your age) for the rest of your life.
Beneficiary Designation - A beneficiary designation gift is a simple and affordable way to make a gift to support the Cypress College Foundation. You can designate the Foundation as a beneficiary of a retirement, investment or bank account, or of your life insurance policy.
Please keep the Cypress College Foundation in mind as you organize your anual gift planning. If you have any questions about tax-favorable or Legacy Society giving, kindly contact foundation@cypresscollege.edu. As always, please work with your financial advisor or tax preparer to understand the impact of charitable giving on your individual taxes.
* The IRS reminds individuals and businesses that special recordkeeping rules apply to any taxpayer claiming a charitable contribution deduction. Usually, this includes obtaining an acknowledgment letter from the charity before filing a return and retaining a cancelled check or credit card receipt for contributions of cash.
