Estate and Financial Planning

Through charitable estate planning, you and your family can support the Center endowment while receiving financial and philanthropic benefits. Our staff will work with you to further the work of the Center in a way that is consistent with your own financial goals.

Here are just a few of the ways you can make a planned gift:

Making a bequest to the Clarice Smith Center.
Donating appreciated securities, real estate or gifts-in-kind.
Establishing a charitable gift annuity or charitable remainder trust.

“I feel part of the Center; I've become very attached to it over the years. I feel good being asked to identify with the university, and I will continue giving my support. The Center is one of the best-kept secrets around, and every year more people are discovering all the great things we have to offer.”
