Discover the Reciprocal Benefits of Planned Giving
at Trident Technical College

Whether you are long-time donor or thinking about making your first gift to Trident Technical College, your support will help ensure that future generations will enjoy the benefits of the College’s accessible, high-quality education. Like many friends and supporters of TTC, you may be interested in making a larger gift to support the College, but also need to consider financial and family matters. The following gift strategies can help you make a meaningful gift that fits into your financial and family circumstances:

• You don't have to use cash to make your gift -- you can give us appreciated securities instead, and use an asset that costs you less than the tax deduction you'll get for it today.
• You may be holding assets that would benefit the College more than they do you -- such as a life insurance policy that you no longer need, a parcel of real estate like a second home or undeveloped land, or a collection of books or artwork that you no longer have room to display.
• You can make a gift that costs you nothing during your lifetime - make us a beneficiary of your will or revocable trust, or a beneficiary of your retirement plan, and leave your cash flow and current financial planning uninterrupted.
• You can make the College a partner in your giving -- you can deed us your home but continue to live there, you can sell us property at a charitable discount, and you can make a gift that pays you lifetime income.

These tools are called planned gifts, and this website is the place to learn more about them. Where to start?
