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.

How Any Gift Helps

While you occasionally hear about million dollar gifts in the news, smaller gifts have a tendency to go unnoticed by the mass media. They are very much noticed at the University of Wisconsin. In fact, in 2006, gifts of $100 or less combined to total more than $1.5 million in support of the University. These gifts empower the University to continue its tradition of teaching, research and outreach; ever expanding the boundaries of The Wisconsin Idea.

By designating your gift to the school, college or program of your choice, you can be sure that the area of campus you care most about will benefit.
