There are several ways to support the Northwest Indian College Foundation.

Planned giving is an option that gives donors flexibility and unique options such as gifts of real estate, assets and/or retirement assets, stocks and bonds, life insurance, charitable trusts, and bequests. With careful planning, consultation with your agents and/or attorney and our qualified staff, please consider one of these generous options to show your support.

Gifts of Real Estate

Donating appreciated real estate, such as a home, vacation property, undeveloped land, farmland, timberland, ranch or commercial property can make a great gift to the Northwest Indian College Foundation while providing the donor with a tax deduction and possibly estate tax savings.

Gifts of Assets

Gifts of assets have two general categories, 1) In-kind gifts if you have a valuable item you are willing to part with or 2) retirement assets if you have unused retirement assets.

  • In-kind gifts could be a painting, antique, vintage automobile, equipment or other valuable items.
  • Retirement Assets could include part or all of your unused retirement assets, such as your IRA, 401(k), 403(b), pension or other tax-deferred plan.

Gifts of Stocks and Bonds

Gifts of stocks, bonds or mutual fund can be made outright or as part of a pledge to Northwest Indian College while providing the donor with a capital gains tax savings.

Gifts of Life Insurance

Gifts of life insurance can be a unique gift for an unused insurance policy that may have outlived its original purpose and provide donors with a tax deduction.

Gifts of Charitable Trusts

A charitable trust is an excellent way to support Northwest Indian College with personal income benefits you can define in the charitable trust while taking advantage of various tax benefits depending on the type of trust.

Charitable Remainder Trust:
A charitable remainder trust is a tax-exempt irrevocable trust wherein the donor maintains their assets for a specified period of time and then donates the remainder of the trust to Northwest Indian College specified in the trust. This can be done set up for you in a couple of ways; with a remainder annuity trust, a remainder unitrust, or in a pooled income fund. For more details contact our office in concert with your attorney and accountant.

Charitable Lead Trust:
A charitable lead trust is a trust that reduces the donors taxable income by donating a portion of the trust’s income to Northwest Indian College for a specified period of time. After which, the remainder of the trust goes back to the donor. For more details contact our office in concert with your attorney and accountant.

Bequests

Leave a lasting legacy! Bequests can be a profound way to support Northwest Indian College by leaving a bequest in your will, living trust or with a codicil. Bequest options can include gifting a specific dollar amount or asset, a percentage of your estate, or the balance or residue of your estate.
