The generosity of alumni and friends has nurtured the University of Miami since its very beginning, making possible extraordinary achievements in teaching, research, clinical care and public service. For almost a century, the University of Miami has been a beacon of hope and opportunity for South Florida, the nation, and the world. Planned gifts are vitally important in our quest for continued excellence and guarantee our long-term sustainability. But planned giving is not just beneficial for the University; it provides many more opportunities for taxwise giving and the satisfaction that comes from knowing you have made a difference in the lives of others. There's a planned gift for everyone, depending on your unique circumstances. The best gift plans improve your financial and tax situation- often right away. We can help you explore options that balance your philanthropic goals with your financial needs and tax-planning strategies- helping you plan for your future while allowing you to leave your legacy at the U.
