George O. Pickell
Director of Planned Giving

Welcome to University of Northern Colorado Planned Giving
Thank you for your interest in University of Northern Colorado. Our hope is to serve you and your family with helpful information. We have an increasing number of friends at UNC who now are benefiting from life income gifts, gift annuities and other plans. Thank you for taking the time to explore the benefits of gift planning.

What Legacy Will You Leave?
For many of us, there is a desire to make a difference - to leave a lasting impact on the people dear to us and the world in which we live.

A will and bequest are perhaps the easiest and most tangible ways to have a lasting impact on the people and organizations that mean the most to us. You are invited to explore creating a will and bequest and lessening the burden of taxes on your family and on your estate.
