Touch the lives of others while creating a lasting legacy, enjoy a wide variety of tax benefits and help Luther College achieve its goals for current and future generations

Anyone who has the vision and inclination to provide for Luther College's long-range needs can make a difference through planned giving. We invite you to consider your philanthropic goals and how they intersect with the future of Luther College.

• They are often substantial, even from persons of modest means.
• They represent financial resources the college can look forward to in the future.
• When mature, they are most often placed in the endowment, which ensures that the college's financial reserves are supplemented and that the gift "keeps on giving" as endowment investments yield annual income.

• They are a means for you to make a substantial gift to the college without depleting your day-to-day income or your retirement assets.
• They often provide substantial tax advantages to you; many offer opportunities for lifetime income to you and/or other family members.
• They are a way for you to share in both the present and the future of Luther College.

We encourage you to further explore the planned giving options available to you. If you have questions along the way, please contact Kelly Sorenson, CGPA, legacy and gift planning officer.

Thank you for your vision! If you have not notified Luther of your plans, please contact Kelly Sorenson, CGPA, legacy and gift planning officer. Once Luther knows about your plans, you will automatically become a member of the Heritage Club.
