THE IMPACT OF PLANNED GIVING ::
Build a Meaningful Legacy: Fulfill Your Philanthropic Goals George C. Halversen ’62 and his wife of almost 60 years, Grace, who passed away in 2014, have been generous and enthusiastic supporters of UCLA School of Law for more than 40 years. Their donations have included various gift annuities and irrevocable testamentary pledges totaling $2 million. “I paid very little for my legal education, yet the degree I earned at UCLA Law allowed me to enjoy a long and satisfying career,” Halversen said of his philanthropic support. Halversen’s various charitable gift annuities will not only benefit UCLA School of Law, but will also benefit him financial-
ly. In return for making these gifts, he will receive a guaranteed annual annuity, paid quarterly, for the rest of his life. In encouraging others to take advantage of unique ways of giving, he said: “I think you will find, as I did, that establishing a charitable gift annuity for the benefit of UCLA Law is not only a wise personal investment but a wonderful way to support our alma mater. Doing something good for UCLA Law turned out to be one of the wisest investment choices I could make.” Legacy or “planned” gifts help to ensure UCLA School of Law’s ability to provide a world-class education for generations to come. Planned giving offers the opportunity to make a lasting difference, as well as to enhance personal financial plans and maximize the benefits of charitable giving.
