Planned Giving

When you arrange a gift that will benefit Stanford GSB beyond your lifetime, your legacy sustains the school into the future.

Naming the GSB as a beneficiary of your will, living trust, retirement account, donor-advised fund, or other charitable gift plan such as a charitable remainder trust or charitable gift annuity, enables you to leave a lasting influence at the GSB while meeting personal financial and estate planning goals for you and your loved ones.

Options for an Enduring GSB Legacy

There are many ways to include charitable giving in your estate plans.

Bequest A flexible and popular way to leave a legacy.
IRA An easy, tax-efficient way to support the GSB.
Life Income Gift A great way to leave a legacy at the school while taking care of yourself or loved ones.
More Options For information on other gift arrangements, including charitable lead trusts, real estate gifts, and life insurance policies, please contact Sindy L. Craig, Director of Development, Legacy Giving, or at +1 (650) 725-1171.
