Welcome to Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi
Planned Giving

Thank you for your interest in Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. Our hope is to serve you and your family with helpful information. We have an increasing number of friends who now are benefiting from life income gifts, gift annuities and other plans. Thank you for taking the time to explore the benefits of gift planning.


IRA Rollover
A SPECIAL GIFT OPPORTUNITY!

On August 17, 2006 the President signed the new pension bill that also permits IRA charitable rollovers. Now, those over 70½ are eligible to make an IRA charitable rollover to public charities. And the good news is that an IRA distribution to charity will be similar to other IRA rollovers - it will not be included in your Federal taxable income. It's very easy to make the gift by directing your custodian to transfer your distribution directly to Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. The best part is that your IRA gift is made tax-free!
