IRAs and Other Retirement Plans
Designate the College of Western Idaho (CWI) Foundation as a beneficiary of part or all the remainder of your IRA or retirement plan.
Life Insurance
Make a substantial gift by naming the CWI Foundation as a beneficiary or owner of your life insurance policy. Often, donating life insurance enables you to make a larger gift to the College than you otherwise could.
- Consult with your tax professional and legal counsel prior to proceeding.
- If you have an existing fully-paid life insurance policy that is no longer needed to protect your children, your spouse, or your business interest, you can name the CWI Foundation as the policy's beneficiary.
- Contact your insurance company to obtain a designated beneficiary form and name "College of Western Idaho Foundation" as one of your beneficiaries.
- Allow us to recognize you by informing us of your gift.
