Gift Planning

"It has always been our feeling

that UT Health Science Center has

been good to us, and we should

do our part to give back ..."

Planned giving is a unique philanthropic tool in that it helps UTHSC-H enormously, while also advancing your own financial objectives. Your support will assist the university in carrying out its mission and provide significant benefits to you and your heirs. You can make a gift commitment through a trust, a bequest, a charitable gift annuity or other gift options. Visit the Gifts-at-a-Glance section of this Web site to learn more about the various types of planned gifts. Your gift can lead to a brighter future for a student or teacher, scientist or researcher, clinician or patient. Make a plan for your future and help us plan for ours.

We encourage you to meet with the Planned Giving staff to help you plan wisely so that you can leave a legacy that benefits both you and the University.

For more information, please call (713) 500-3200 or email Shirley.Druggan@uth.tmc.edu.

Your planned gift can take many forms and can help you address a variety of personal financial goals. Ask yourself some simple questions to determine what you want to accomplish through your gift:

Do you want to give now or later through your estate?
What assets do you want to give?
Do you want to make a gift that pays you back?
If so, what kind of income do you want to receive?
Or is your goal preserving your estate rather than increasing income?
And do you want to pass your estate to your heirs?

Once you determine your needs and goals, enter that information into our Personal Profile form and request a specific illustration of how your gift could benefit you and your family.

And be sure to take advantage of all the features online planned giving offers:
