Planned giving helps our mission
Bequests to the University of Lynchburg have long been a major source of support for the University. Each gift, no matter how large or small, contributes to the University’s financial stability and strength. A gift to the University of Lynchburg through estate planning qualifies estates for a charitable tax deduction. It also allows you to join our Hopwood Society, an honorary giving society.
We’re here to help you meet your goals!
Our team would be happy to speak with you in confidence about your giving goals, with no obligation.

More ways to make an impact
Gifts in a will or trust
Donations in your will or trust are (by far) the most popular type of planned gift. Learn more, or get help starting your will (for free!).
Beneficiary designations
Gifting assets not covered by your will — like 401(k) or IRA accounts — may help your heirs avoid unwanted taxes, even if you’re below the estate tax threshold.
Popular tax-smart gifts
Many people are increasingly choosing to give non-cash assets, so they can have a bigger impact at less cost to them.
