Gifts that provide donors income:

There are several planned gifts, such as charitable remainder trusts and gift annuities, which can provide donors with tax benefits and a lifetime income stream, even as you prepare a future gift to support the Institute. For more information, please contact Andrew Norwood, OSU Foundation, LPI Director of Development. Further reading material is on the OSU Foundation website.
