Planned giving helps fuel Crest Mountain’s mission
Planned gifts play a vital role in advancing Crest Mountain’s mission. These contributions ensure our ability to invest in academic programs, scholarships, infrastructure, and research initiatives that benefit students and faculty. By leaving planned gifts, donors leave a lasting legacy that supports our commitment to educational excellence and empowers future generations to pursue their academic and personal aspirations.
My experience at Crest Mountain has shaped me into the person I am today, and I am forever grateful for the education, opportunities, and lifelong friendships I gained there. Leaving a gift in my will to support the university’s mission was my way of giving back and ensuring that future generations can benefit from the same transformative experience that I had.

Donations in your will or trust are (by far) the most popular type of planned gift. Learn more, or get help starting your will (for free!).
Beneficiary designations
Gifting assets not covered by your will — like 401(k) or IRA accounts — may help your heirs avoid unwanted taxes, even if you’re below the estate tax threshold.
Popular tax-smart gifts
Many people are increasingly choosing to give non-cash assets, so they can have a bigger impact at less cost to them.
