“The Lyford Cay Foundations have traditionally been a very important part of the financial aid landscape for higher education in the country, and we are hoping to make that role even more meaningful. We want to make an even greater impact in the future, and on the people who need it most.”

Dr. Keva M. Bethel, Chair of Lyford Cay Foundation, Inc.'s Board of Directors' Education Sub-Committee

Planned Giving And In-Kind Gifts

There are many ways of giving to the Foundations, based on your means, short- and long-term objectives, and tax considerations.

  • Some of our supporters prefer to make a number of pledge payments throughout the year in order to spread out the demands on their cash flow.
  • Gifts of life insurance enable benefactors to make a significant financial contribution in the future, at a modest cost.
  • Directing a portion of an estate to the Foundations may significantly reduce the taxes payable at death.
  • A gift of appreciated securities may result in both a current income tax deduction and avoidance of capital gains taxes.

Tax implications vary and should be carefully discussed with a professional to determine the most advantageous approach for you.

If you would like more information on planned giving and gifts in kind, please contact us and we will be happy to provide you with additional details, and to work with your financial advisor, if you so wish, to make any necessary arrangements.
