Discover the Rewards of Giving Wisely and Well
Generations of men and women whose lives and character have been shaped by Rhodes College have demonstrated their gratitude through planned gifts. For each multi-million-dollar gift you might read about, the college receives countless smaller ones from people of all ages, all means, and all walks of life. They are people who believe in Rhodes and in the value of an outstanding liberal arts education.
Invest in Values and Vision
A planned gift is an investment in the values emblazoned in the Rhodes College seal: truth, loyalty, and service. Investing in Rhodes means assuring the highest standards for our students, faculty, and staff. It means supporting a rich array of learning opportunities that promote intellectual growth, moral development, and commitment to social responsibility. It means helping the college realize the Rhodes Vision of graduating students with a life-long passion for learning, compassion for others, and the ability to translate academic study and personal concern into effective leadership and action in their communities and the world.
Can You Really Make a Difference?
Yes, you can make a difference. For your family as well as Rhodes College. Your planned gift can play a vital role in guaranteeing Rhodes' enduring success by making generations of students your beneficiaries. At the same time, depending on your personal circumstances and the kind of gift you choose, your planned gift can help you save on taxes, increase life income, and pass on more of your assets to your heirs.
What Is Planned Giving?
Planned giving is the practice of planning a charitable gift in the context of your current financial plan, retirement plan, or estate plan. This website is designed to provide valuable information about the many planned giving options available to Rhodes' alumni and friends. We believe that the best planned gift is the one that is best for you and your loved ones. Our goal at the college is to assist you in making the gift that is most meaningful to you.
More and more donors at all income levels are discovering that supporting Rhodes with a planned gift can bring personal rewards and enable them to make a larger gift to Rhodes than would have been possible otherwise. There is a unique story behind each planned gift. Taken together, our donors' stories illustrate how Rhodes has changed lives for the better.
