Planned Giving Essentials

Deferred or planned gifts help you to meet your own financial needs today, while supporting Delta Chi's future needs. Such gifts can provide significant tax benefits as well as lifetime income for you and your family.

The Delta Chi Educational Foundation staff welcomes the opportunity to work with you and your legal and financial advisors to establish individual deferred gift arrangements. Please be sure to notify the Foundation if you are planning to include or have already included the Foundation in your estate plans.

As with outright gifts, deferred gifts may be restricted and designated to specified programs based on the donor's wishes, or they may be left unrestricted to give the Foundation the flexibility to meet unforeseeable needs.

Heritage Society
The Foundation is proud to establish the Heritage Society to recognize and honor anyone who names the Delta Chi Educational Foundation as a beneficiary of a will, trust, retirement plan, life insurance policy, life income gift (pooled income fund) or other type of accepted planned giving arrangement. All planned gift donors are eligible to become members of the Heritage Society, as long as their planned gifts are in place.  The gift amount is not a factor and does not have to be disclosed.  Heritage Society members may also choose to remain anonymous.
