What is Planned Giving?

through the donor’s estate plan. Planned giving provides you the opportunity to make
a significant contribution to support Kingsborough Community College while still meeting
your personal estate and tax planning goals. By including Kingsborough in your estate

- Provide an income stream to family and loved ones
- Increase your retirement income
- Pass more of your wealth and assets to your family and loved ones

And much more…
