INCOME GIFTS - ESTATE GIFTS - RETIREMENT GIFTS - PERSONAL PROPERTY- REAL ESTATE
   


Harvard Medical School offers a variety of life-income arrangements. A life-income arrangement operates as follows: you irrevocably contribute cash, appreciated securities or other property to HMS, which then invests the property and pays you and/or a beneficiary an annual income for life or a term of years. After the death of the last beneficiary or the end of the term, your gift is transferred to HMS. The proceeds of your gift are used for the purposes you designate at the time of your contribution.

Benefits Include:

    Annual income for you and/or a beneficiary
    Professional investment management at no charge by the Harvard Management Company
    Bypass realizing capital gains on gifts of appreciated assets
    Immediate federal income tax charitable deduction
    Estate tax savings
    Creating a future gift that reflects your vision for HMS

Determining the right plan for you depends on a number of factors including your age, type of assets, income needs and financial objectives. To learn more about a specific life-income arrangement, click on the topic below that best describes your goals.
