Planned Gifts
Never before have the conditions for making a planned gift been so favorable. Naming the UT-Austin School of Social Work as a beneficiary in your estate plans has allowed alumni and friends of this school to give back to the place they love even in a suppressed economy. A low interest rate environment has influenced a number of donors to establish income-producing gifts such as charitable gift annuities, or charitable remainder trusts, which benefit them during their lifetimes with up-front income tax savings and often a higher income, while ultimately supporting the UT-Austin School of Social Work.
The University of Texas at Austin has assembled a top-notch team of Gift Planning experts, all available to assist alumni and friends of the university with their gift planning goals. The School of Social Work encourages all alumni to consider including the school in their wills for a certain dollar amount or a percentage of their residual estate. We also encourage you to contact either the Office of Development at the School of Social Work or the UT Office of Gift Planning directly so that we may assist you with your plans.
