Welcome to the world of gift planning at The Franklin Institute!

To begin your journey, click here. Answer three questions, and we will recommend up to three gift vehicles for you to explore.

Did you know that...

  • You can receive income for life in exchange for a gift?
  • Giving appreciated property, like stocks or real estate, costs less than giving the equivalent amount in cash?
  • Some assets can benefit you more if you give them away?
  • Some gifts cost nothing now, but leave a legacy later?
  • Some gifts allow you to pass more on to your heirs and save taxes?

If you are just beginning to explore your options, try our easy-to-use, interactive Plan-a-Gift ® feature. With a few clicks you can choose the best gift plans for your individual needs and learn more about their benefits.

If you already know what gift plan you would like to explore, just highlight "Gift Plans" on the menu. If you want to receive a detailed illustration of the tax, income, and other benefits of a particular gift plan, just click the “Next” button at the bottom of the gift description or go to "Personal Illustration" on the menu.

If you would like to receive personalized assistance with your planning, just click on Request Information and submit the confidential form. We’ll send you a detailed illustration that is tailored to your individual needs, with several options for you and your advisors to consider.

There are many other helpful resources on this site. Visit whenever you need information about planned giving, and feel free to contact us at any time!
