Southeast university foundation becomes regional host site

The Southeast Missouri State University Foundation is pleased to announce that it is now a regional host site for the Planned Giving Design Center.

Southeast's PGDC -- available throughout central and southern Missouri and Southern Illinois -- provides professional advisors with resources they can use to advise clients in matters of charitable gift and estate planning.

Included in this Web site are many articles and treatises on the various types of planned gifts arrangements such as charitable remainder trusts, bequests, retained life estates, charitable gift annuities, charitable lead trusts and wealth replacement trusts.

A powerful search capability allows the advisor to research the thousands of pages of text, and weekly e-mail alerts provide the latest on current changes in tax law and "hot topics" in the field of charitable gift planning. A planned giving calculator is accessible, enabling advisors to provide a client with a personal description of the financial and tax benefits of their planned gift.

The Planned Giving Design Center can be found at www.pgdc.net/SEMO. Free registration is required to access all areas of the site.

For questions about the PGDC or about planned giving to the Southeast Missouri University Foundation, call 651-5935.
