Estate & Gift Planning
Make a Big Impact With a Future Gift
When you include the University of Louisville or UofL Health in your charitable giving plan, your generosity ensures continued excellence in education, research, patient care and community engagement for generations to come. Whether you are revisiting your existing plan or creating your first plan, we are ready to partner with you. Thank you for being a vital part of the Cardinal Community's future.
Leave a Legacy
Through the Office of Estate and Gift Planning, UofL alumni and friends can explore gifts that may also provide a life income stream, help minimize taxes and generate an immediate charitable gift and/or estate tax deduction.
Give by IRA
If you are 70 ½ or older, you can give up to $111,000 from your IRA directly to UofL without having to pay income taxes on the money. You may also designate the University of Louisville as the beneficiary of all or a percentage of your IRA.
Give by Donor Advised Fund
Already have a charitable account and ready to make a gift? We make it easy to recommend a grant to the University of Louisville through your donor-advised fund.
Give by Wills and Living Trusts
In as little as one sentence, you can designate a percentage or amount to UofL through your will or trust.
Arrange a stock transfer
We are grateful for your support of the University of Louisville. Before directing a transfer agent to transfer a stock gift, please see a few important details below.
