Welcome to Bryan College Planned Giving

Thank you for your interest in Bryan College.

The essence of planned giving and charitable estate planning is the creation of an estate plan that expresses your personal values through the integration of philanthropic, family, and financial goals.

Paul J. Meyer, a noted motivational speaker and philanthropist, once said, "Everyone leaves a legacy, whether it is intentional or not. Those who are more intentional about it usually leave a better legacy behind." One of the greatest gifts we can give to tomorrow's leaders is a consistent example of personal integrity built upon the foundation of a Christ-centered Biblical WorldView.

Bryan College is located in Dayton, Tennessee just 38 miles north of Chattanooga over looking Lake Chickamauga.

Benefits For Family and Bryan College

There are several types of plans. Many of these have wonderful benefits for the gift donors. Many of these families have enjoyed increased income and generous tax savings. You might start by meeting these friends. Just click on the picture and you can view each story.

Bequests for Scholarships
Joe and Anna have been faithful supporters of Bryan College over the years. They have visited the campus many times and have fond memories of those visits. Both of them strongly believe that it is important to support and encourage young people. More on Bequests for Scholarships >>.

Tax-Free Sale
Gene and Carol White were age 55 when they purchased some development land outside of town. They thought it would be a good investment that they could later sell for a higher price. They have owned the property for 10 years and now would like to sell. More on Tax-Free Sale >>.

Fixed Income for Retirement
After working for decades as a pediatrician in a small rural town, Patricia Brown was ready to retire. Patricia owned some stock but was concerned about leaving it in the market where it could go up or down. She needed a secure source of retirement income for the future.

Peace of Mind Gift Annuity
Many years ago, Clara Lehman bought a home. Since she was so pleased with the home, she decided to buy stock in the company that builds and sells homes like it. Over the years, the stock has increased in value many times, but the value has been volatile. More on Peace of Mind Gift Annuity >>.
