Planned Giving
Benefits for Giver and Receiver
One of the most effective means of giving to Ohio Northern University is a planned gift. Gift planning is the process of carefully selecting the best methods and assets for making a gift, such as cash, stocks, bonds, real estate, life insurance, trusts, and bequests.
A planned gift can enable you to assist the ONU in its long term mission of education, research, and service while also reducing your burden of income, capital gains, or estate taxes. Click here to see how you can match your financial goals while also making an investment in the University.
