Planned Giving to Tau Beta Pi

Planned gifts provide a way to serve and be remembered by future generations. Each gift, small or great, is a gift of lasting value because the engineering profession intrinsically directs the course of society, and Tau Beta Pi members help guide the course of engineering.

Any gift which is transferred with the help of a professional is considered a planned gift. Planned gifts are a tax-wise way of giving and offer benefits to you, the donor, as well as to our organization. Members who have mentioned Tau Beta Pi in their wills automatically belong to The Heritage Society

There are many ways to establish a tax-advantaged charitable giving program. The following list includes the more common ones. Charitable giving may be reduced to two broad categories: estate gifts and lifetime gifts.

  • Estate Gifts
  • Wills Bequests (money, stocks, bonds, real estate or other assets)
  • Lifetime Gifts
  • Cash
  • Securities
  • Real Estate
  • Life Insurance

Bequest Wording
