I had already designated a gift for the University in my estate, but I looked at the Charitable Remainder Annuity Trust as a win-win. The University gets the money and I get income.

Publications
The UW Foundation produces several publications to communicate with the University’s alumni and friends.
Our annual Endowment Report describes the performance of all endowed funds when pooled together. Customized versions with financial results for individual funds are prepared for and sent to report recipients in the first half of each year.
The Wisconsin Dividends newsletter goes to all alumni in the United States from the classes of 1901 to 1974 and emeritus faculty or spouses. It contains information on estate planning and deferred giving and features an article about a donor who has made a deferred gift.
The Legacy newsletter is mailed annually to all members of the Legacy Club. Those who have made deferred gifts to the UW Foundation automatically become members of the Legacy Club. The newsletter covers topics on estate planning.
