Gift Planning

When you make a planned gift to Princeton, your generosity has an impact far beyond your lifetime. Your gift supports generations of students whose lives will be forever changed by their Princeton experience and who will forever change Princeton. There are many ways you can make a gift that costs you nothing today — or that helps you make a tax-wise investment in your future and Princeton’s.
