Popular tax-smart gifts

Michael McLamb, 33, who earned a bachelor’s degree in finance in 2012 and completed his master’s degree in business administration in 2016, both at WCU, made an estate gift in November that will provide financial support to the College of Business Excellence Endowment Fund. “I have been lucky and recognize anything can happen in this world,” he said. “Should my time here come early, there is a respectable amount to support the College of Business Excellence Endowment. However, should I endure my actuarial table and remain productive for the next several decades – as intended – there will be a nice sum to allow students to pursue their interests and become the best they can be.”
