Gift Planning

College Hall

During the Campaign, many alumni and friends worked with the Office of Gift Planning to integrate charitable giving into their long-term estate, tax, and financial planning, making gifts including bequests, charitable trusts and gift annuities, and retirement plan interests. These donors have made a lasting impact at Penn and are recognized as members of the Harrison Society. Other generous donors made gifts in the form of real estate, complex financial assets, and gifts in kind.
