Planned Giving

A bequest from a will or living trust lets you make a gift of any size to WUTC through the University of Chattanooga Foundation free of estate tax.

Your attorney can help you include language to WUTC in your estate plan. The UC Foundation exists as a repository for gifts aimed at benefiting the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. We have provided some basic language to assist you below.

I hereby, give, devise and bequeath ($DOLLARS or PERCENTAGE OF ESTATE) to WUTC and the University of Chattanooga Foundation, Inc., a non-profit organization (Federal Tax ID #62-0476521).

In addition to a bequest, there are many other ways to include WUTC in your estate plans. Learn more about our Legacy Society that recognizes donors who have made provisions to support UTC in their gift planning through avenues like bequests, charitable remainder trust, charitable gift annuity, retirement assets, life insurance and more.

Contact Jennifer Fritts at jennifer-fritts@utc.edu or 423.425.4902 for any planned giving questions or assistance.
