Why Give?

If you love aviation and aerospace and care about its future, there’s no better place to make a difference than Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.

There are as many reasons to give to Embry-Riddle as there are donors.

A gift plan can provide you substantial tax benefits, especially when you give stock or real estate. Depending on your situation, you may save income taxes, capital gains taxes, probate expenses, and estate taxes.

The Legacy Society was founded in 1998 to express appreciation and recognition for those visionary individuals who inform the university, confidentially and in writing, that they have made a provision for a future gift through a bequest in a will or by naming Embry-Riddle a beneficiary in a trust, life insurance policy, or retirement plan.

Both our donors and the beneficiaries of their generosity have stories to share.
