	Planned Giving Generally speaking, planned gifts represent gift options that can be designed to meet your personal philanthropic and financial goals. Some planned gifts, such as bequests, require no current outlay of funds at all. And other planned gifts, including the charitable remainder trust, make it possible to support our work, enjoy a tax deduction, and receive a lifetime income at the same time. In this unpredictable and challenging economic climate, a planned gift can be a rewarding way to make a difference in others’ lives. Please contact us if we can provide more information or help you in any way. Learn more about some of the creative ways to support Cal Poly Pomona by visiting our Planned Giving Website.
