Donors regularly find that they are able to be more generous than they ever imagined by considering a beneficiary designation of a retirement account, a bequest intention, a charitable gift annuity, or a charitable remainder trust — even gifts of real estate.
The Hamilton-Oneida Academy, predecessor of today's College, was founded in 1793 with earnest gifts of "labor, lumber, and a pound sterling." Over the more than two hundred years since, Hamilton has sustained its educational mission with countless benefactions of every kind, including through the most thoughtful and personal form of giving: estate planning.
NEW for 2024:
Higher ACGA rates could mean more income for you.
There are many planned gifts that won’t affect your existing financial resources, but will have an impact on Hamilton College. Give to the institution you care about, while maintaining control and flexibility.
A bequest is a gift provision in your will or revocable living trust. All assets, including cash, securities, real estate, and tangible personal property, may be transferred to Hamilton College at the end of your life.
To determine the best gift, it’s vital to decide your most important personal and family goal. This could range from maximizing tax benefits to preserving assets for your heirs.
