It’s a point of pride for 50th Reunion classes to come together and collectively make their largest class gift in honor of this significant milestone. To make it easier for you to maximize your impact for your 50th, any documented bequest intentions or beneficiary designations you make after your 45th Reunion will count towards your 50th Reunion giving if Amherst is a primary beneficiary of your estate plan. 

Do you want a guaranteed income for life while making a guaranteed impact on Amherst College? Consider establishing a charitable gift annuity. This might also be a chance to take advantage of the charitable rollover gift annuity plan. A donor can establish a charitable gift annuity using a one-time-only Qualified Charitable Distribution of up to $50,000 from an IRA; unlike most distributions from your retirement account, you pay no income tax on a Qualified Charitable Distribution. 

Do you have a vacation home or another property that you do not use? Turn unwanted real estate into a charitable remainder trust to receive income for life for you and your loved ones. 

However you fit the College into your life plan, we appreciate it, and you will be invited to become a member of the Johnson Chapel Associates so that we can recognize your generosity.

See what your peers are doing for the College!
