Champlain College has become a leader in career-oriented education though the generosity of its alumni, friends, parents and the business community. People have made many types of gifts to support the educational programs at the College.

A gift to Champlain can bring important financial benefits to you. Planned gifts can generate lifelong income; convert low-yielding assets into a higher income stream at a reduced capital gains cost; obtain significant income tax deductions; and reduce or eliminate estate taxes.

There are only three places that your assets will be distributed after your lifetime: your heirs, charitable organizations or the government. Planning now will assure that you control the way your assets are used instead of the federal government doing that for you by default. Champlain's Office of Planned Giving helps you to design the most advantageous ways of giving to meet your goals.

If you have any questions, or would like additional information about how to include Champlain in your estate plans, please contact Didi Brush, Director of Planned Giving & Major Gifts at brush@champlain.edu and at the telephone listed below:
