Welcome to Gift Planning
Making a planned gift to Swarthmore will not only provide transformational educational experiences, foster community collaboration, and offer access and opportunities to students, it may also help you accomplish your own personal, financial, estate-planning, and philanthropic goals. With thoughtful planning, you could increase the size of your estate or reduce the tax burden on your heirs.
We invite you to explore Ways to Give and What to Give to learn more about your options. You can also compare gift options or calculate how these gifts could benefit you and your loved ones. And of course, feel free to contact us to discuss your goals or ask any questions. Thank you for considering a planned gift to empower Swarthmore students with the critical thinking skills, compassion, and creativity to imagine and create a brighter, more just future.
Join the James A. Michener Legacy Circle
The Michener Legacy Circle honors alumni, parents, and friends who have invested in the next generation of Swarthmore by making a gift to the College that matures in the future or lasts in perpetuity. We invite you to join by making — or telling us about — planned gifts in wills, beneficiary designations, and life-income gifts.
