Welcome to the Gift Planning Site for the College at Oneonta Foundation
The College at Oneonta Foundation benefits greatly from the generosity of those who make gifts to the College Foundation through estate planning. Such gifts, often called planned gifts, allow you to make a meaningful impact on our College with the possibility of enjoying tax benefits from your gift as well.
We created this website to provide easy-to-understand information on the various gift options available to you. If you're not sure where to begin, try our Build Your Gift planner. By answering a few basic questions, this interactive tool steps you through the process of narrowing down your choices.
If you already have gift options in mind, click on Compare Gifts to see how your choices match up or click on eBrochures to request specific information on a planning option.
For those who are considering making a gift in their will, trust or other estate planning gift, our legal name is the State University College at Oneonta Foundation Corporation. We are a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization established to raise and receive charitable gifts for our College.
Our staff is always here to help. If you have any questions or would like to discuss your gift plans, please contact Director of Gift Planning Ellen Blaisdell at 607-436-2781 or blaisdem@oneonta.edu.
