The UC Irvine Libraries serve as a crucial hub to ensure that knowledge is preserved, accessible and passed to the next generation of students and scholars. From one generation to the next, knowledge is accumulated and disseminated, shaping the future of our society. But you don’t have to be an academic or a researcher to participate in this vital process. The University thrives on the contributions made by generous donors via popular and trusted planned giving opportunities such as the Charitable Gift Annuity.
There are significant benefits for both you and the University with a Charitable Gift Annuity. In exchange for your generous gift of cash or underperforming CDs or stocks, the University of California commits to providing you with a fixed income stream for life, which can range from 4.4% for a 60 year old to 9.0% for those 90 years old and older. What’s more, because this lifetime income stream is backed by the strength of the University’s assets, your income is guaranteed and will never change with market fluctuations. Once the University’s commitment to you is fulfilled, the remainder of your initial gift is used to further the Libraries’ mission as a 21st Century resource for students, faculty, and community scholars.
Perhaps best of all, the Charitable Gift Annuity is a unique and practical way to benefit yourself, a worthy cause, and the entire community.
There are many opportunities to give at the University. The table below is a quick overview of the many available tools that you can use to support the university and achieve your goals.
