Gift and Bequest

A gift and bequest is a combination of a current gift and a charitable gift made in your will or trust. It is an easy way to support our cause today and make a lasting future impact on Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary.

Benefits of a gift and bequest

• Receive a charitable income tax deduction for your gift made to us this year
• Continue to use and control your assets during your lifetime
• Leave a lasting legacy through a bequest to support our work after you are gone

How a gift and bequest works

You can make a gift to support our work this year by contacting us or visiting our website. A charitable bequest is a way to make your giving go further. With the help of an attorney, you can include language in your will or trust specifying a gift to be made to Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary as part of your estate plan, or you can make a bequest by designating us as a beneficiary of your retirement account or life insurance policy.
