Gifts of Real Estate

Make a plan, make a lasting impact

Planning for the future requires you to make a lot of decisions. What will happen to your home, your personal belongings? What if you have secondary properties, like a vacation home, vacant land, or business space?

A gift of real estate or personal property is an impactful way to simplify your affairs. It can reduce the burden on your loved ones while supporting a cause that’s near to your heart.

Realize your vision for the future, gain peace of mind, and make an impact for generations to come.

Consider all your options

There are several ways you can use your property to support Indiana University. Helping you choose the right giving option for you is important to us. Whether you’re seeking information or you’re ready to start the process, we’re here to help every step of the way.

Why did I bequeath my property and belongings to Indiana University? To support cancer research. To simplify my estate and spare my family from an onerous task. To bring my heart peace and joy.
