Options include charitable trusts, gift annuities, bequests, charitable lead trusts, and gifts of retirement benefits. Because these gifts require careful planning, consult your attorney, accountant, or financial advisor. Our staff is glad to work with you and your advisor, in confidence and without obligation, to find the best approach for your circumstances.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-bd946717 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/advancement\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2026\/06\/UA_ContactUs.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-99\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/advancement\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2026\/06\/UA_ContactUs.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/advancement\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2026\/06\/UA_ContactUs-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-gotham-font-family has-large-font-size\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:500\">Faculty and Staff Giving<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the fastest and most convenient ways to give is to make a recurring gift through payroll deduction (available through&nbsp;Wolverine Access).
