Planned Gifts:
Planned Gifts are a way for donors to make a sizable contribution to the school while potentially earning income for life. Through a bequest or gift through your estate, you can make a gift of a fixed amount or percentage of assets. Life Income Gifts allow you to give assets to Stanford while providing yourself or others with income for a period of time before Stanford is permitted to use your gift.
