Bequest

A charitable bequest is a specific donation to Kent State University that is made in your will or revocable trust. In addition to the impact the planned gift will have on Kent State, a bequest reduces taxes on income passed to your heirs and could also potentially reduce estate taxes.

Types of Bequests

• A percentage bequest is a gift of a certain percentage of your estate
• A specific bequest is a gift of a certain dollar amount or asset
• A residual bequest is a gift made from the balance of your estate after the bequests to your heirs are honored

To leave a bequest to Kent State, include a bequest directive to Kent State in your will or revocable trust; designate Kent State University as a full, partial or contingent beneficiary of your retirement account; or name Kent State as a beneficiary of your life insurance policy.
