You can be a catalyst for change. With your support, anything is possible.
How the Tax Reform Act affects you and your charitable giving.
Getting Started
There are many planned gifts that won’t affect your existing financial resources, but will have a significant impact on Portland State University. Give to the institution you care so much about, while maintaining control and flexibility.
Make a Bequest
A bequest is a gift provision in your will or revocable living trust. All assets, including cash, securities, real estate, and tangible personal property, may be transferred to Portland State University Foundation at the end of your life.
IRA Charitable Rollover
If you are 70 ½ or older the IRA charitable rollover is a terrific way to make a tax-free gift to Portland State University Foundation.
Charitable Gift Annuity
A charitable gift annuity is a way to make a gift to Portland State University, receive income for yourself or others, and be entitled to a current income tax deduction for a portion of the assets given to fund the gift annuity.
