The Rich Heritage of Simpson University

Continuing our rich heritage since 1921, Simpson University remains steadfast in its mission -- to prepare men and women for His service. The over 250 faculty and staff echo the University’s commitment to high academic excellence and personal spiritual formation for each student.

The 85-acre campus, nestled in the shadow of Northern California’s magnificent Mt. Shasta, is home to traditional undergraduate programs, adult degree-completion programs, as well as master’s programs.

Your gift to Simpson University is an eternal investment and will help insure that Simpson University will be a dynamic force for the cause of Christ both now and in the future.

The following pages will give you a clearer understanding of the investment options that are available to you or your family. These financial tools will give you a broader look at the eternal investment possibilities and how you may plan well.

Planned ways to give:

• You don't have to use cash to make your gift -- you can give us appreciated securities instead, and use an asset that cost you less than the tax deduction you'll get for it today.
• You may be holding assets that would benefit us more than they do you -- such as a life insurance policy that you no longer need, a parcel of real estate like a second home or undeveloped land, or a collection of books or artwork that you no longer have room to display.
• You can make a gift that costs you nothing during your lifetime - make us a beneficiary of your will or revocable trust, or a beneficiary of your retirement plan, and leave your cash flow and current financial planning uninterrupted.
• You can make us a partner in your giving -- you can deed us your home but continue to live there, you can sell us property at a charitable discount, and you can make a gift that pays you lifetime income.

These tools are called planned gifts, and this website is the place to learn more about them. Where to start? If you already know something about your giving options, click on Ways to Give Wisely and go right to the planned gifts that you want to read more about. If you're not sure how a gift can meet both your charitable and personal goals, first go to Discover the Benefits of Giving Wisely to learn how planned gifts work and how they can stretch your giving ability.
