Alumni and Friends: 

The cost of keeping Northern Caribbean University on the cutting edge of providing quality Christian education is very high.

Many of the programmes and building currently existing on our campus would not exist at Northern Caribbean University were it not for the generous support of you our alumni, friends and business community.

With your support each year, you have helped us succeed in our mission. 

Ways to give to NCU:

PLANNED GIVING

What is it?

A planned gift is either – 1) a deferred gift in which cash or other assets pass to Northern Caribbean University (NCU) at a future date or 2) an outright gift to NCU of non-cash assets such as real estate.  In recent years, planned gifts have become an increasingly important means of effective financial stewardship because they redirect material wealth to charity and ministry that would otherwise have been lost to taxes.  Many of these gifts also provide a lifetime income stream back to the giver, along with significant income tax, capital gains tax, and estate tax benefits. 

Planned giving offers you the opportunity to mere your financial objectives with your charitable giving.  Through planned giving, you can provide for your family’s well-being and also increase the amount you give to charitable causes, including NCU.

Throughout NCU’s history, alumni and friends have remembered the university in their estate plans.  These gifts have been essential in helping NCU provide thousands of students an excellent Liberal Arts education in the context of a Christian worldview and send them into the world to be agents of renewal in many different professions.  NCU is grateful for the generosity of those who have chosen to support the university through planned gifts. 

Request

• Leave your legacy by making a gift in your will to friends, family and charitable organizations.  A bequest is one of the simplest ways to remember those you car about most. 
  
  If you plan to make a charitable gift by will, please think through it carefully, then meet with your Attorney to discuss and update your will.  Tell him or her exactly what you want to do.  Be as clear as possible in describing what you want given to whom.

• If you have decided that this is an option you would like to use in making your contribution to NCU, please let us know so we may thank for your generosity.

Gifts of Cash

• A cash gift is one of the most common methods for making an outright charitable contribution.

Students Scholarship Assistance

Your gift will assist students in need with tuition expenses.  Many students need help beyond what student loans and work cover.

Endowment Fund

Capital Fund

The university has ongoing capital needs that we meet with the help of our alumni, friends and business community.  Your gift to one of the following development needs is vital:     

• University Housing

Payroll Deduction

• For employees at NCU, giving via payroll deduction is one of the easiest ways to make a substantial contribution to the university.

OPTIONS FOR PLANNED GIVING 

Income-Producing Gifts 

Life Insurance

• You can donate a paid-up life insurance policy to Northern Caribbean University (NCU) and name NCU as the beneficiary.  Alternatively, you can donate a new or partially paid insurance policy to NCU, name NCU as the beneficiary, and continue to pay the premiums.  You may also simply name NCU as the beneficiary or contingent beneficiary of a life insurance policy. 

Real Estate

• Real estate that has appreciated in value is an excellent asset to use for charitable planned giving, either as an outright gift or to fund a charitable trust.  You may want to consider giving your home to NCU while retaining the right to live there for all or part of your remaining lifetime.
