There are as many different ways to support Bard as there are needs
for your support. You may want to make a substantial gift to Bard, but
also want to maintain or even increase your income. If so, you may find
it worthwhile to make a gift to a pooled fund, a gift annuity, or a
charitable trust, retirement assets, and life insurance all of which provide a stream of income
paid to you—or another beneficiary you designate—for life. The income
also may be extended over the lifetimes of more than one person before
the gift becomes available to the College. For example, you may direct
that the income be paid to yourself as long as you live, and
then to your spouse. At the completion of all life income interests,
the remainder is distributed to the College for its use, subject to any
preferences—such as a named scholarship fund—specified when you made
the gift.
