Gift and Bequest

A gift and bequest is a combination of a current gift and a charitable gift made in your will or trust. It is an easy way to support our cause today and make a lasting future impact on Elon University.

Benefits of a gift and bequest

  • Receive a charitable income tax deduction for your gift made to us this year
  • Continue to use and control your assets during your lifetime
  • Leave a lasting legacy through a bequest to support our work after you are gone

How a gift and bequest works

You can make a gift to support our work this year by contacting us or visiting our website. A charitable bequest is a way to make your giving go further. With the help of an attorney, you can include language in your will or trust specifying a gift to be made to Elon University as part of your estate plan, or you can make a bequest by designating us as a beneficiary of your retirement account or life insurance policy.

Contact us

If you have any questions about making a gift and bequest to Elon University, please contact us. We would be happy to assist you. If you have been so generous as to include a bequest to Elon University as part of your estate plan, please take the time to let us know. We would like to recognize you and your family for your generosity.
