There are creative ways to support the University through planned giving programs that enhance estate management and the tax benefits of giving. With thoughtful planning you can create positive opportunities for you and your family. Many have found that time spent considering the best ways to structure their gifts allows them to meet personal planning goals and make impactful contributions.
Loyola welcomes planned gifts in the form of bequests and life-income gifts such as gift annuities, which allow donors to make a current gift to the University while receiving lifetime income for themselves and/or spouse. Those who provide for Loyola in their estate plan are recognized for their foresight, dedication, and generosity through membership in The Jenkins Society, a giving society named for George Carroll Jenkins, one of Loyola's first benefactors.
Our Office of Planned Giving will help you discover these strategic ways to support Loyola while serving as a valuable and caring partner in your long relationship with the University.

- Charitable Gift Annuity (CGA): A contract between a donor and a charity under which the charity, in exchange for a gift, agrees to pay the donor or the donor’s chosen beneficiaries fixed payments for life. The size of the payments is based on the age of the beneficiary/beneficiaries and the amount of the gift.
