Planned Giving:
Planned giving involves charitable gifts made as a part of a person’s financial or estate planning. These gifts can provide tax benefits and income streams; they are executed either over an extended time or at some point in the future.
Gift plans can be funded with stocks and securities, artwork, real estate, life insurance policies, or other assets. Contact Kathleen Helling, director of planning giving, at 412-647-4220 for more information.
Honorary and Memorial Gifts:
This gift can be a thoughtful way to recognize the accomplishments or memory of a relative, friend, or colleague.
