Create a Legacy of Hope
As they settle into retirement in a coastal town 700 miles north of Irvine, nestled amid redwoods, Alicia Susong Abell and David Abell are focused on giving back. The couple supports their local hospital, food bank, library, church - and life-changing research at Alicia's alma mater. "It feels wonderful to say, 'I received.' But now it's the time for me to give back so others can receive. "
Donor Advised Funds
A Donor Advised Fund (DAF) is an account administered by a charitable entity (like a community foundation) that enables you to make charitable contributions today, immediately qualify for income tax benefits, but recommend the ability to make grants to your favorite charities when it's convenient for you. When you make a DAF gift to the UC Irvine Foundation, you can designate how you would like your gift to be used by the UC Irvine campus.
About Bequests
You may be looking for a way to make a significant gift to help further our mission. A bequest is a gift made through your will or trust. It is one of the most popular and flexible ways that you can support our cause.
Charitable Gift Annuity
A charitable gift annuity is a great way you can make a gift to our organization and benefit. You transfer your cash or property to our organization and we promise to make fixed payments to you for life at a rate based on your age.
IRA Charitable Rollover
An IRA rollover allows people age 70½ and older to help support our organization by making a gift directly from their IRA.
