Goals and Benefits

Your Goals	Your Strategy	Your Benefits
Maximize your deduction; minimize the gift details.	Use cash to make your gift to Prairie State College Foundation.	Claim your deduction against a larger portion of your adjusted gross income, and make an immediate impact on Prairie State College Foundation.
Avoid capital gains liability and take an income tax deduction.	Use appreciated securities, instead of cash, to make your gift.	Buy low and give high — while avoiding capital gains tax.
Make a gift for Prairie State College Foundation's future that costs you nothing now.	Include a bequest for us in your will (cash, specific property, or a share of the estate residue).	Today — a painless way to build our financial strength. Tomorrow — resources that we will put to use.
Leave more of your estate to your heirs.	Name Prairie State College Foundation as beneficiary of your retirement plan, leave less-taxed assets to family.	Eliminate income tax on retirement plan assets; free up other property to pass to your heirs.
Create a long-term gift that won't draw funds from your estate.	Create a new life insurance policy, or donate a paid-up policy whose coverage you no longer need.	Increase your ability to make a significant gift to Prairie State College Foundation.
