Planned giving donors demonstrate a commitment to moving NIU forward through the eras. When you make a planned gift to the NIU Foundation it has an impact far beyond your lifetime. Your gift transforms the NIU experience, inspires discovery and innovation, and becomes the cornerstone to sustain NIU.
Our Approach
You know why you’re dedicated.
We’re here to listen.
Our responsibility is to be thought-partners who can help you navigate opportunities to strengthen Huskies. Providing them access to resources and tools to be continuously relentless in their pursuit of greatness. We are the resource to help you achieve your goals.
We will connect you with faculty and staff to help you locate opportunities.
We have the knowledge and experience to educate you on planned gifts and collaborate with your advisors to generate a plan.
Together, we will design and refine a gift plan that unleashes Huskies so they never quit.
Planned gifts benefit NIU and the NIU Foundation by providing a sustainable future through: unrestricted funds, tuition savings and well-being resources for students, research funding, and capital improvements.
Your benefits from planned gifts: income generation, income tax avoidance, income tax deductions, capital gains tax avoidance, capital gains tax deductions, reduced estate and gift taxes, and easy transfer of generational wealth.
The Path Forward
- Some of you have given outright and are ready for an income-generating gift.
- Some of you have made an income-generating gift and are ready for a foundational gift.
- Some of you have made a foundational gift and are ready for an asset protection gift.
- Some of you have made an asset protection gift and are ready for an outright gift.
As you go through the different stages, we’re here to build your plan for your situation, whether now or in the future.
