  • Increase the impact of your giving
  • Preserve assets for you and your family
  • Enjoy greater tax savings
  • See the results of your giving today

How Blended Gifts Work

Some ideas for you to consider include a charitable bequest, charitable gift annuity and charitable remainder unitrust.

If you have already included a bequest in your will or created another planned gift, you could begin to see the impact of your giving today by making outright gifts of cash or property. You can avoid capital gains taxes by making a gift of real estate, stock, or other appreciated investments.

Are you interested in giving to a campaign or making a significant gift this year? Are you thinking about making a bequest or multi-year gifts? Blended gifts use a variety of giving strategies by combining the power of current gifts and planned gifts including bequests. Blended gifts can be a very attractive way for you to achieve your financial, tax, and estate planning goals while impacting Wildcats now and in the future.

Welcome to the Thompson Society!

During the Celebrate 150 Campaign (2012-2018), more than 200 families made planned gifts to UNH, ranging from $10,000 to millions of dollars, which have already started to have an impact on future generations. But the story of legacy goes back to the origins of UNH when Benjamin Thompson left his farm and other assets to establish what would ultimately become the Durham campus of the University of New Hampshire.

The Thompson legacy has impacted hundreds of thousands of lives, and yours can, too.
