Planned Giving

There are many planned giving options that can support your financial goals today while shaping RAND's tomorrow. Extend and maximize the impact of your giving by including RAND, the RAND School of Public Policy, or both in your financial and estate planning.

RAND Legacy Society

The RAND Legacy Society recognizes those who have made a planned gift to benefit RAND or the RAND School of Public Policy. A Legacy Society commitment may be unrestricted, providing RAND and RAND School leaders with the flexibility to support the most pressing needs. Alternatively, your contribution can be designated to a particular area of research; directed to an impact fund to extend the reach of research and analysis; or allocated to support an endowed chair, fellowship, scholarship, or award.

Planned giving vehicles can provide you with immediate tax benefits or potential increased income during your lifetime while also providing RAND with an important financial foundation for the future. Your planned gift makes you a partner in our efforts to create a safer, healthier, and more prosperous future for generations to come.

Bequests and Estate Plan Gifts

You can make a bequest—a gift from your estate—by including a provision in your will or living trust to leave a portion of your estate to RAND, the RAND School of Public Policy, or both. Alternatively, you can designate RAND or the RAND School of Public Policy as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy or a retirement plan, including an IRA or 401(k) and 403(b) plans. A bequest can be made for a specific amount, a percentage, or the balance or residual portion of your estate.
