Welcome to The Office of Planned Giving
for the Texas Tech University System

Welcome to the Office Planned Giving for the Texas Tech University System.

All financial situations are unique, and making good decisions requires prudent planning. Likewise, wise decisions while planning a gift can maximize the benefits to both you and Texas Tech. We can identify the different types of giving opportunities best suited for you.

Many Red Raiders are benefiting from gift annuities, charitable trusts, and other deferred gifts. Consider joining our other donors, friends, and alumni who are using planned gifts to make a difference in their personal finances and for a future generation of Red Raiders.




Spotlight on Gift Annuities: Give...and Get Back

A gift annuity guarantees a stream of income to you for your lifetime while establishing your legacy at Texas Tech.

Benefits of a gift annuity include:
  • Guaranteed Income for life
  • Attractive Rates of Return

Have you included a gift to Texas Tech in your estate plans?

Your estate gift bequest can have a tremendous impact on the lives of future Red Raiders. If you have included Texas Tech in your estate plans, please let us know. We would like to recognize your gift and include you in the Matador Society.

An estate gift has several great features. Your bequest is flexible. You retain the ability to modify it at anytime to fit your family's needs while also preserving a lasting legacy at Texas Tech. An outright gift from your estate is typically free from Federal Estate taxes. This can lessen your possible tax burden and Texas Tech is able to use your gift to its fullest.
