The solid foundation I received at UW has opened many doors for me. I think it is important to give while you are 'alive and taking nourishment,' and it will be such a joy to see the new building on its completion.

Q&A with Our Donors - Part 2

Published November, 2006
Q: I own a personal residence which is valued at $1.6 million, cost $80,000. I do not want to sell right now so a CRT will not work. Can I gift a ½ interest with a retained-life estate?

A: If you are you asking if you can make a gift of ½ of the remainder interest to charity, the answer is yes. Of course, you can also give an undivided interest in ½ of the home.
