How It Works

You name Sam Houston State University as the beneficiary of your IRA, 401(k) or other qualified plan.

Any residual left in your plan at your death passes to SHSU tax-free.

Benefits

  • You can escape both income AND estate tax levied on the residual left in your retirement account by leaving it to charity.
  • You can continue to take withdrawals during your lifetime.
  • You can change your beneficiary if your circumstances change.
  • You can elect to leave retirement plan assets to SHSU through your will or revocable trust instead.
  • You can have the satisfaction of knowing that your hard-earned retirement assets will support Sam Houston State University when you are gone.
