Include the African American Studies Department in your estate plan to support future generations and give back to UC Berkeley.
Gift planning is one of the most powerful ways to support the African American Studies Department while meeting your philanthropic, financial, and estate planning goals. UC Berkeley’s Office of Gift Planning offers a comprehensive website featuring online tools that guide you through various gift options, from IRA Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) to life income gifts, gifts in wills or living trusts, and more.
Some assets to give include cash, individual retirement arrangements, donor advised fund grants, privately held securities, publicly traded securities, and real estate. Other ways to give include a will or living trust, beneficiary designations, a charitable gift annuity, charitable trusts, a qualified charitable distribution, and donor designated funds.
Planned gifts can offer creative and flexible strategies for you to pursue your financial and philanthropic goals while supporting the Berkeley programs most important to you. To learn more, please reach out to socialsciences@berkeley.edu.
