Gifts of Retirement Assets
Designating our organization as beneficiary of part or all of your unused retirement assets, such as your IRA, 401(k), 403(b), pension or other tax-deferred plan, is an excellent way to make a gift to University of Oklahoma Foundation.
If you are like most people, you probably will not use all of your retirement assets during your lifetime. You can make a gift of your unused retirement assets to help further our mission.
Benefits of gifts of retirement assets
- Avoid potential estate tax on retirement assets
- Our organization would not owe income tax on any retirement assets funded on a pre-tax basis
How to make a gift of retirement assets
To leave your retirement assets to University of Oklahoma Foundation, you will need to complete a beneficiary designation form provided by your retirement plan custodian. If you designate University of Oklahoma Foundation as beneficiary, we will benefit from the full value of your gift because your IRA assets will not be taxed at your death. Your estate may benefit from an estate tax charitable deduction for the gift.
