The Charitable Lead Trust
Transferring property to IU Southeast and individuals you wish to benefit is not always an either/or proposition. With careful planning, you may be able to arrange your transfers to accomplish more than one objective. For example, if you have assets that are appreciating, children who may want to start a business in the future, and a desire to assist IU Southeast, you may wish to consider creating a charitable lead trust.

Gifts of Retirement-Plan Benefits
You may consider using retirement-plan benefits to make a significant gift that will support IU Southeast. Because of the estate- and income-tax treatment of retirement-plan benefits, the cost of your gift to your estate and heirs is often relatively small.

Annual Gifts
The financial support from annual donors continues to be important. Nearly 2,000 people made gifts to the University in 2009-10, amounting to more than $763,000 to support capital improvements, campus services, and financial aid. About half of these gifts came from IU Southeast alumni, with the remainder coming from IU Southeast friends and corporate and foundation donors.
Employer Matching Gift
Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match any charitable contributions made by their employees. This is one way you can double your gift to IU Southeast.
