Turn Your Treasures Into a Charitable Legacy

Your treasures like real estate, artwork, books, manuscripts and other library materials, equipment, valuable antiques, stamp and coin collections, cars, boats, and other tangible personal property can make suitable charitable gifts today or after your lifetime. The financial benefits of the gift depend on whether we can use the property in a way that is related to our mission.

For most gifts of real/tangible property, the donor must provide the Foundation with an independent appraisal which provides reliable information that can be used determining the value of the gift property. Values used in record keeping are for the Foundation’s internal use only. Donors must consult IRS Publication 561, Determining the Value of Donated Property and seek advice from their attorneys or tax advisors for the tax implications of donated property.

Contact Melody Avery at 860.832.3471 or mavery@ccsu.edu for additional information on giving a gift of tangible personal property. We also suggest you seek the advice of your financial and/or legal advisor.

A gift of life insurance can be a low-cost yet generous way to make a meaningful contribution to CCSU. It’s a good way to transform affordable premium payments into a substantial future donation. There are several ways you can give your life insurance policy, or death benefits from it.

Designate The CCSU Foundation, Inc. as a Beneficiary

By designating the CCSU Foundation, Inc. as a beneficiary, in part or in full, you retain ownership of the policy and have the flexibility to make changes to the beneficiary designation later. Any policy distributions to the Foundation will be exempt from estate tax. As the beneficiary, the CCSU Foundation will receive the death benefits when you die.

Donate your Life Insurance Policy

You can donate your life insurance policy to the Foundation as long as the policy is paid in full, or you can agree to make an annual tax-deductible cash donation in the amount of the annual policy premium. Upon your death, the Foundation will receive the full death benefit.

Once we receive confirmation of your gift of an insurance policy you will enjoy membership in the Legacy Society. We also suggest you seek the advice of your financial and/or legal advisor.
