Giving Options
Gifts by Will or Living Trust
A charitable gift from your estate is a favored method of giving that enables you to achieve your financial goals, maintain control of your assets, and benefit CMC.
Naming Us in Your Assets
While you may transfer many of your assets through your will or living trust, beneficiary forms available from plan administrators control distribution of your retirement plans, life insurance policies, commercial annuities and a variety of financial accounts.
Gifts That Pay You Income
Planned giving is a great way to support CMC while generating income for yourself and your family. Learn about charitable trusts and gift annuities that allow you to give to CMC while generating income for yourself and your family.
The IRA Gift (QCD)
The IRA charitable rollover (also called the Qualified Charitable Distribution, or QCD) is a great way to make a tax-free gift to Claremont McKenna College.
Charitable Lead Trust
Make a substantial gift to Claremont McKenna College in the form of fixed annual payments and pass assets to your family or other heirs at reduced tax cost.
Retained Life Estates
Donate your home, farm or a second home to CMC and receive an immediate income tax charitable deduction, while retaining the right to live in your home for the rest of your life. If you itemize your deductions instead of taking the standard deduction you could save significant income taxes.
Bargain Sale
Receive immediate cash and make a gift to Claremont McKenna College by selling to us a valuable asset, such as real estate, for less than it is worth.
Gift Calculator
At certain ages, IRS regulations force CMC to offer a lower rate to generate a charitable deduction of at least 10% of the gift amount. If you receive a Fails to Qualify message, contact us for a qualifying rate.
