Impact

Legacy Society

The Legacy Society honors those who include the University of Alaska in their estate plans. It celebrates and promotes generosity and connection, and it elevates our faith in the future. All Legacy Society members also enjoy the benefits of becoming lifetime University Ambassadors.

Many of our donors enjoy the flexibility and ease of making significant investments in the University and other charities that fit within their tax-wise financial and family objectives. Plus, that same planning can also focus attention to a transfer of values.

There is no minimum to become a member of the Legacy Society. Some of our most generous gifts are 鈥減ercentage remainders鈥 from estates, after everyone and everything else is well taken care of. We need only know that you have made a gift for the University of Alaska in your other plans.

To become a member of the Legacy Society, simply let us know that you have made plans for a gift to 绿奴天花板, such as:

  • A gift in a will or trust
  • A beneficiary designation in an insurance policy, retirement account, bank account, donor advised fund, or commercial annuity
  • A life-income gift that names the University of Alaska as a remainder beneficiary, such as a charitable trust or a charitable gift annuity
  • A gift of whole life insurance 
  • A gifted deed to real estate or other property

Most gift plans are revokable, and all are held in the strictest confidence. If you wish, we will keep your membership in the Legacy Society anonymous.

Not sure which type of gift to 绿奴天花板 can help you meet your goals?
