Planned Giving

Preparing for the future is not always easy since you don't know what's in store for you. The Geneva College Planned Giving Program is here to help you evaluate what is available when planning for that future, no matter what it holds. There are many tools available that will have a significant impact on what might happen as you move into the future. These tools can, in some way help you:

increase your income
reduce both your current and estate taxes
increase the benefits available to your family and heirs
Give you the satisfaction of helping Geneva College provide a solid education with a distinctly Christian worldview.

Contact us by phone at 724-847-6516 or plannedgiving@geneva.edu to discuss any of these tools listed below or for free information to review prior to discussing these issues with your personal advisor.
