Planned giving is the thoughtful way to make a charitable gift to help future generations of students share the Winthrop experience.  The purpose of planned giving is twofold in that it helps Winthrop, while also benefiting your family and heirs. Many Winthrop alumni and friends are already receiving the benefits from their planned gift today and providing the University with continued support after their lifetimes.

As a planned giving donor to Winthrop you are ensured that your financial needs are always put before those of the University's so that your financial security is not jeopardized in any way. The planned giving program exemplifies the best qualities of Winthrop and observes the highest ethical standards of personal and professional conduct as it serves you. Its purpose is to educate, provide service, and assist you the donor in achieving your personal financial and philanthropic wishes. Charitable giving is encouraged by the federal and state government because of the tax advantages of such gifts. It is one of the surest ways to receive the maximum benefit of the tax laws. Often these tax advantages allow you to make a greater gift than you thought possible. If you would like to create something that endures, consider making a planned gift to Winthrop.
