Planned gifts include provisions made in donors’ wills, gift annuities and the establishment of various trust vehicles. Often planned gifts are used to establish future named endowment funds. For many alumni and friends of CPTC, a charitable planned gift is the easiest and best way to make a gift to CPTC. By means of your will or estate plan, you can name Clover Park Technical College as the beneficiary of a portion of your estate, or of particular assets in your estate. Many of the most powerful gifts with an enduring impact come from bequests. Giving by bequest costs nothing now, yet it may give you a great deal of satisfaction to know that your future gift will live on. A gift through a will is the simplest method for creating a legacy type of gift. Gifts are also accepted from charitable trusts, annuities, and life insurance.
