Joe Bessey's Purple Passion
Making a gift using the IRA charitable rollover means Joe’s IRA withdrawal is not treated as federally taxable income. It counts toward his required minimum distribution and he will receive gift credit for the Class of ’66 50th reunion fund.
Purple with Purpose
Purple with Purpose is the initiative in Teach It Forward: The Campaign for Williams that encourages all members of the Williams family to strengthen their connections with each other and the college.
PLANNING A LEGACY GIFT
Elizabeth Bluhm, Class of ’95 Gift Planning Chair, shares what inspired her to make a legacy gift to Williams when she was just starting out in her career as a physician and what that gift will achieve.
PLAN FOR RETIREMENT
Give to Williams with a Deferred Charitable Gift Annuity. Did you know that the gifts you make after your 40th Reunion count toward your 50th Reunion Class Gift? This is often an ideal time to revisit your estate planning as you plan for retirement.
