The Development Office can help you create a gift plan that will best express your desire to benefit the College, at the same time fulfilling your personal financial goals. A properly-designed gift can complement your own goals in several ways:
There are two basic categories of major gifts to be given to Cedar Crest: Current Gifts and Deferred or Planned Gifts. Each has its own advantages with regard to your financial plans, and each greatly benefits the College.
Current gifts are gifts made in the current year that the College may be able to utilize immediately. They are often called "outright" gifts or "immediate" gifts. Current gifts are critical in supporting all areas of the College on an ongoing basis.

Deferred Gifts are often called "planned
gifts" because they are
integrally connected to your financial and/or estate plans. They
may range in size from very small bequests to multi-million dollar
trusts. We call them deferred gifts because, even though they are
given today, the College will not realize their benefit until some
time in the future.
We divide Deferred Gifts into two general categories: Estate Gifts
are those gifts normally associated with your Will or final
distribution of your estate; Life Income Gifts provide either an
income or the use of some asset for the duration of your life.
Knowledge of deferred gifts is an excellent long-range budget
planning tool for the College.
A documented deferred gift to Cedar Crest College makes you eligible
for membership in the Legion of Loyalty. Please make all gifts to
Cedar Crest College or to a trustee of a planned gift or testamentary
statement with Cedar Crest College of Allentown, Pennsylvania, as
the ultimate beneficiary.
