Add Kansas State University as a beneficiary in your will or living trust to leave your mark. Your legacy can be a life-changer.
Wondering how to create a planned gift?
You’ve got options! Here are some popular choices:
- Add K-State to your will or living trust.
- Designate the KSU Foundation as a beneficiary of your IRA, retirement plan, life insurance policy or donor-advised funds.
- If you have appreciated securities (stocks or bonds) or mutual funds that you’d like to donate to K-State, place a Transfer on Death (or TOD designation) on your accounts.
- Gifts that also pay you income include charitable gift annuities and charitable remainder trusts.
Donors can lean into almost anything of interest to them. It really is about ‘Can you change people’s lives and make a difference?”’
