Plan Now. Impact Forever.
Legacy giving is one of the most meaningful ways to support UCA. By including the UCA Foundation in your estate plans, you help ensure that future generations of students have access to education, opportunity, and innovation.
Below are some of the most common options donors choose:
Make a Gift Through your Will
A simple bequest allows you to designate a specific amount, asset, or percentage of your estate to UCA.
“I hereby give, devise and bequeath to the University of Central Arkansas Foundation, Inc. Buffalo Alumni Hall, UCA Box 4986, Conway, AR 72035-4986 (Federal Tax Id: 71-0550590) ____% of the residue of my estate or the sum of $_______
(or the following property described herein.)”
Name UCA as a Beneficiary
You can designate the UCA Foundation as a beneficiary of your retirement account, life insurance policy, or other financial account.
To make UCA part of your legacy, we should be named as:
University of Central Arkansas Foundation, Inc.
201 Donaghey Ave., UCA Box 4986
Conway, AR 72035-0001Federal Tax ID: 71-0550590
Established May 15, 1981
Make a Gift from Your IRA (QCD)
If you are 70½ or older, you may be able to make a tax-efficient gift directly from your IRA.
How It Works
- You instruct your IRA custodian to transfer funds directly to the UCA Foundation.
- The gift goes straight from your IRA to UCA.
- The distribution does not count as taxable income.
- If you are required to take a minimum distribution, your gift may satisfy part or all of that requirement.
You can direct your IRA gift to the area of campus that matters most to you — scholarships, colleges, programs, or the UCA Commitment.
Additional Planned Giving Options
For those interested in more customized strategies, additional options may include:
- Charitable gift annuities that provide fixed lifetime income
- Charitable remainder trusts that provide income before benefiting UCA
- Charitable lead trusts that support UCA now and family later
- Retained life estates that allow continued use of property during your lifetime
We would be happy to discuss whether any of these approaches may be appropriate for you and your family.
