Planning Your Gift

Your gift to the ECC Foundation can be an important investment for you and your family, as well as for the College and future generations of its students. By planning a gift at ECC you can generate income for life, yield substantial income tax deductions, convert low yielding assets into a higher income while avoiding capital gains taxes, and reduce or eliminate estate taxes.

Charitable gift planning can be an integral part of overall asset planning for you and your family. Preparing a flexible plan that will help you plan for your loved ones as well as for the College is what deferred giving is all about. Please click on Additional Planned Giving Information so you can enter a planned giving website that SUNY has provided for all of its campuses.

This wonderful website, with a heading of Deferred Gift Information, offers Ebrochures, hundreds of articles, ways to give, what to give and actual donor stories, etc. Please take some time to peruse this site, it is really terrific!

ECC is pleased to have the James Balint Circle of Friends for anyone who notifies us that they have set up a deferred gift for the College. These types of gifts are usually made after much thought and demonstrate a deep personal commitment to the future of Erie Community College.
