Gifts Through Your Retirement Plan

How It Works

  1. You name Franklin College as the beneficiary of your IRA, 401(k) or other qualified plan.
     
  2. After your lifetime, the residue of your plan passes to Franklin College tax-free.

Benefits

  • You can escape both income and estate tax levied on the residue left in your retirement account by leaving it to Franklin College.
     
  • Give the most-taxed asset in your estate to Franklin College, and leave more favorably taxed property to your heirs.
     
  • You can continue to take withdrawals during your lifetime.
     
  • You can change the beneficiary if your circumstances change.
