Plan Your Best Gift

When considering the type of gift you would like to make to Valparaiso University, you need to ask yourself one question first:

“Would I like to make my gift now, later, or do both?”

Depending on your answer to that question, there are a variety of options from which to choose. If you wish to make a gift now, you may consider a gift of stock or cash. Your gift can go towards creating an endowed fund or any number of other opportunities. For gifts in the future, you may choose to leave your gift through a bequest , or create a gift annuity to provide extra income for yourself or a loved one. You might want to consider naming Valpo as the owner/beneficiary of a life insurance policy. A charitable trust also may be an option.

Please use the following charts to compare some of the opportunities you have to make your gift to Valpo.
