Foundational gifts are a great way to have a large impact on NIU and the NIU Foundation while achieving your financial goals and maintaining control of your assets now. 

Bequest

A bequest is a gift from your will or trust that benefits the NIU Foundation.

Beneficiary Designation

While you may transfer many of your assets through your will or living trust, a document called a beneficiary designation controls distribution of your retirement plans, life insurance policies, commercial annuities and a variety of financial accounts.
