Did you know there are creative ways to support West Virginia University and its affiliated organizations? Ways in which WVU, you and your loved ones all benefit at the same time?

Such giving techniques are called "planned gifts," because with thoughtful planning, you create win-win solutions for you and WVU. For example:

  • You can make a gift that costs nothing during your lifetime.
  • You can give stock and realize larger tax savings.
  • You can get quarterly income for life in return for your gift.
  • You can donate your house, continue to live there, and get a tax break all at the same time.
