Ways to Give - Bequests
By
providing for the University in a will, a donor can make a
substantial contribution without diminishing assets during one's
lifetime. Since bequests are deductible from an estate, there is
also the potential for significant estate tax savings.
Here is sample language for remembering the
University of Maine in a will or trust:
To the UNIVERSITY OF MAINE FOUNDATION for the
benefit of The University of Maine, Orono, Maine (possible choice
follows):
-
The sum of $______________;
-
or ____________ percent of my estate;
-
or the property described herein to
establish the _______________________ Fund. The principal of the
said Fund is to be endowed and only the income as determined by
the University of Maine Foundation Board of Directors shall be
used to provide support for the University of Maine.
The University of Maine Foundation has
professional giving officers ready to work with you and your
advisors. We may be reached Monday-Friday between the hours of 8
am and 5 pm by calling 1-800-982-8503 or via email at
umainefoundation@maine.edu.
