A Living Legacy

The College has received some of its most significant support in the form of bequests, and is deeply honored to have been included in peoples' financial and philanthropic plans. Because bequests are exempt from federal or state inheritance taxes, and subject to an unlimited deduction, you might find that a provision in your will for Champlain makes possible a much larger gift than you might have thought.

You may choose to make an outright bequest, transferring specific property to Champlain, or you may donate a percentage of your estate. You can also bequeath the residue of your estate -- the property that is available after other terms of the will have been satisfied. You can use your will to establish a Charitable Gift Annuity or Charitable Remainder Unitrust to provide income to your heirs as well as long-term support to Champlain College.

An unrestricted bequest to Champlain can be made by including this simple provision in your will:

I give to Champlain College Incorporated in Burlington in the State of Vermont ________ percent of my estate for its general use and purposes.

OR

I give to Champlain College Incorporated in Burlington in the State of Vermont _______dollars ($___________), for its general use and purposes.

If you do remember Champlain College in your plans, we ask that you tell us about it now so that the College can thank you, not your executor. It may also inspire others if you will allow us to include your name on our list of supporters. The Champlain College Planned Giving Society has been established to recognize all those who have made a provision for Champlain College in their will, trust or other planned gift.
