- Charitable Remainder Annuity Trusts provide the tax advantages of current contributions with the security of fixed, lifetime incomes, generally for the donors and their spouses. The agreed upon annual payments remain unchanged regardless of how the investments perform.
- Charitable Remainder Trusts are irrevocable trusts that provide a hedge against inflation by adjusting the annual amounts paid to you to the fair market value of the assets in the trusts.
- Life Insurance policies can be established naming the BSU Foundation as beneficiary while preparing a gift agreement that College of Social Sciences and Public Affairs as the recipient.
- Retained Life Estates are irrevocable deeds to personal residences, vacation homes, farms or other real property. The donor retains full use of the property while realizing many tax advantages.
