Planned Giving
For many thoughtful alumni, parents and friends, planned giving is an attractive way of supporting the USC School of Policy, Planning, and Development (SPPD) while fulfilling personal financial planning objectives.
You do need not be wealthy to leave a legacy. Planned giving can be as simple as including a bequest provision in your will or naming SPPD as a beneficiary of your life insurance policy or retirement plan. Regardless of its size, your gift will definitely make a difference in the lives of students and faculty at SPPD.
Planned gifts to SPPD can offer a wide variety of benefits for you:
- Annual income for you and/or a beneficiary
- Avoiding capital gains on appreciated assets
- Enjoying significant tax savings
- Creating a permanent legacy at USC
- Membership in the Athenian Society
We invite you to join others by remembering SPPD as you plan for the future. Here are some of the ways you may make your planned gift:
