Benefits For Family and University of the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry

While most gifts are made by checks or credit card (on-line or through the mail), many are discovering they can do more for their school, themselves, and their families by taking advantage of a variety of gift planning instruments. Many of these have wonderful benefits for the gift donors. Donors are enjoying increased income and generous tax savings. You might start by meeting a few of these special individuals.

The Best of All Worlds Gift Annuity
"When I attended Pacific, I was married and had a young family," says Gene. "I remember what a financial struggle it was for Audrey and me. That is why it was important for us to create a student scholarship endowment for the school." More on The Best of All Worlds Gift Annuity >>.

We all remember the defining moments in our lives. For Ron, it was when he realized the important role education has played throughout his life. A thriving high school sports program was integral in landing him a full scholarship at his undergraduate institution. More on IRA Bequest Creates an Endowment >>.
