Bequests
Many alumni or friends of HHP have chosen to remember us in their will, often called the ultimate gift. A gift may be made through your will or other estate related provisions such as trusts or naming the University of Florida as beneficiary of insurance policies or retirement plans. To include HHP in any estate related plans, please contact your attorney or accountant to explain the benefits related to the various arrangements.
Sample wording of a typical bequest to the University of Florida
I give and devise to the University of Florida Foundation, Inc. (Foundation), located in Gainesville, Florida, my entire residuary estate (or ____ percent of my residuary estate, or ________ dollars, or a specific item) to endow the (Donors Name) Fellowship. Income from the fund shall be used to support fellowship awards to graduate students at the University of Florida. It is my specific wish that the Foundation apply for any matching funds that may be available as a result of this gift.
Gift Annuities
Gift annuities provide the donor with an income stream based upon the amount of the gift and the current age of the annuitant. These gift arrangements are the oldest known retained income type gift available for charitable organizations. Gift Annuities may be funded by gifts of stock, which provide exceptional benefits to the donor. For example, the capital gains tax on appreciated securities is spread during a period of time as income is received from the gift annuity. Additionally, a portion of the income paid from the gift annuity is income tax free.
We will be happy to prepare a gift agreement for you to look over with no obligation. Just contact HHP’s director of development at 352.392.0578 ext. 1268.
Stocks
Gifts of appreciated securities provide many tax benefits to the donor. The charitable deduction is based upon the value of the security on the date of the gift to the University of Florida. The capital gains normally associated with stock appreciation are not taxable if given to a qualified charity like the University of Florida. The giving of securities is relatively simply and can be arranged through your broker, transfer agent, or by contacting the University of Florida at (352) 392-7612.
