"I had always wanted to have an academic career, and I was attracted to Lehigh because of its size, traditions, and its developing reputation for serious research."
- Elizabeth and Donald Smyth
Giving to Lehigh > Planned Giving
The Office of Planned Giving helps alumni and friends to create charitable gift plans that maximize their intentions for Lehigh while implementing their plans to provide for themselves and their heirs. In addition to helping Lehigh maintain a solid tradition of excellence, planned giving can:
• Provide an income for life
• Reduce or eliminate capital gains taxes
• Generate a charitable income tax deduction
• Reduce or eliminate gift and estate taxes
• Allow individuals to make leadership gifts
Although contributions may help our alumni and friends reach their financial and tax goals, we hope the primary motivation to give comes from an aspiration to help Lehigh to fulfill the vital mission of preparing our students for a bright and rewarding future.
