What to Give

There are many asset categories to consider, and our philanthropy team is happy to work with you to determine the best solution for you and your family.

In addition to cash, you may have stocks and bonds, retirement assets, real estate, or even life insurance that could be used to establish an endowed scholarship immediately or over time.

How to Give

In terms of process, there are also several options. Will and trust bequests, IRA charitable rollovers, beneficiary designations and annuity giving are just some of the vehicles available to accomplish your goals. Each has various advantages including tax benefits, beneficiary interests, comfort and flexibility during your living years, and other factors which we can help you consider.

You can also specify how your gift should be used. Restricted and endowed scholarships allow you to establish the criteria that mean the most to you, giving you the peace of mind that Hartwick’s leadership will be good stewards of your generosity.

When to Give

Of course, there’s no time like the present! But a pledge made during this campaign will help us reach our goal – even if we cannot receive the funds until later. Bequests, annuities and other commitments can be established now, allowing you to live out your life in comfort, while knowing your (or another’s) legacy will continue.
