Estate & Planned Giving

Leave a legacy for the next generation of better men.

Looking for a way to leave a lasting legacy with Delta Sigma Phi? It is easy to include the Delta Sigma Phi Foundation in your estate plans, and these gifts are fiscally responsible for both you and the Foundation.

Don’t know where to begin? Here are the most common ways to support the Delta Sigma Phi Foundation and our eager undergrads in your plans.

Charitable Bequests

A charitable bequest is one of the easiest ways to leave a lasting impact on Delta Sigma Phi. A bequest may be made in your will or trust directing a gift to the Delta Sigma Phi Foundation. Through our partnership with FreeWill, you can create your estate plan and plan your gift, entirely online, at no cost.

Gift of Life Insurance

You can make Delta Sigma Phi Foundation a partial or full beneficiary of your policy. Another option is to transfer ownership of the policy to the Delta Sigma Phi Foundation and receive a charitable deduction for the transfer. You can also continue making tax-deductible donations to continue paying for the premium!

 

Gift of Real Estate

A gift of your appreciated real property (such as your home, vacation property, vacant land, farmland, ranch or commercial property) can make a great donation to the Delta Sigma Phi Foundation. Find out how to make a gift of real estate.

 

Gift of Retirement Assets

A gift of your retirement assets, such as a gift from your IRA, 401k, 403b, pension, or any other tax-deferred plan is an excellent way to make a gift to the Delta Sigma Phi Foundation. Learn more about potential tax savings.

 

Gift of Stock

As a donor, you can transfer appreciated securities to the Delta Sigma Phi Foundation and receive a tax deduction.
