If you are age 70½ or older, a gift from your IRA helps reduce your taxable income. And for those over 73 who must take a Required Minimum Distribution, an IRA gift is a simple way to fulfill that requirement! Buffalo State has invested in a secure IRA donation tool that makes it easier than ever to give from your IRA.
The College Fund, also known as the Annual Fund, supports hundreds of scholarships and awards for deserving students, high-quality learning experiences from nationally known experts, funds for research and scholarship by students and faculty members, improvements to campus facilities and grounds, and much more.
The GRIT Scholarship is a merit-based scholarship, based not on GPA but on a student's demonstrated Guts, Resilience, Impact, and Tenacity.
Students are nominated by a faculty or staff mentor who sees their potential and wants to make sure they can complete their Buffalo State journey successfully.
By setting up a flexible endowed scholarship, you can see the benefits of your generosity now. A flexible endowed scholarship is a combination of a planned gift and an annual gift. Every year, you donate a specified amount, usually the interest to be generated by the endowment’s eventual worth. The endowment itself is deferred until it can be fulfilled with a planned gift.
