Here are simple, proven options you can set up with your advisor or online in minutes.

Bequests in a Will or Living Trust

Why it matters: Even a small percentage can create lasting opportunity for students.

  • How to set up: Log in to your plan portal or contact your plan administrator for the beneficiary form.

Life Insurance Policy

If you have a policy you no longer need for your family’s protection, you can name us as the beneficiary or transfer ownership of the policy.

  • How to set up: Request a beneficiary designation form from your insurer.

Gifts of Stock or Securities

A tax-wise way to give appreciated assets that can provide immediate support to students and programs.

Why it matters: Your gift strengthens BLC today and may reduce capital gains taxes.
