Planned Giving Options

  • Making a Bequest

    A bequest is one of the easiest gifts to make. With the help of an advisor, you can include language in your will or trust specifying a gift be made to family, friends or Bemidji State University Foundation as part of your estate plan.

  • Gifts of Stocks and Bonds

    Donating appreciated securities, including stocks or bonds, is an easy and tax-effective way for you to make a gift to BSU.

  • Gifts of Real Estate

    Donating appreciated real estate, such as a home, vacation property, undeveloped land, farmland, ranch or commercial property can make a great gift to BSU.

  • Support BSU with a gift of retirement assets

    Gifts of Retirement Assets

    Donating part or all of your unused retirement assets such as a gift from your IRA, 401(k), 403(b), pension or other tax-deferred plan is an excellent way to support the university

  • Gifts of Cash

    A gift of cash is a simple and easy way to make a gift

  • Gifts of Insurance

    A gift of your life insurance policy is an excellent way to make a gift to charity. If you have a life insurance policy that has outlasted its original purpose, consider making a gift of your insurance policy. For example, you may have purchased a policy to provide for minor children and they are now financially independent adults.
