Planned Giving

You may be looking for a way to make a significant gift to help further our mission. A bequest is a gift made through your will or trust. It is one of the most popular and flexible ways that you can support students and leave a legacy at Seattle University.

A bequest allows you to continue to use the property you will leave to us during your life and make a lasting impact on our work after you are gone.

If you are 70½ or older you may also be interested in a way to lower the income and taxes from your IRA withdrawals. An IRA charitable rollover is a way you can help continue our work and benefit this year.

A beneficiary designation gift is a simple and affordable way to make a gift to support Seattle University. You can designate our organization as a beneficiary of a retirement, investment or bank account or your life insurance policy.

Life income gifts allow donors to make a significant contribution to Seattle University while receiving income for life or a set period. These gifts can take various forms, such as charitable gift annuities or charitable remainder trusts, providing financial benefits to both the donor and Seattle University.
