Planned Giving
Your generosity has a transformative impact on our work, today and far into the future. Through planned giving, you can leave a legacy that not only supports the Smart but also provides special advantages to you and your loved ones.
As part of the University of Chicago, planned gifts to the Smart can be made through a range of options, including bequests, beneficiary designations, and gift annuities and charitable trusts. Donors of estate gifts are included in the University’s Phoenix Society, which provides additional benefits.
Please contact Jessica Glaser, director of development, at [email protected] or 773.834.6886 to speak in confidence about planned giving options.
