Planned Giving

Planned gifts, in most cases, benefit charity at some point in the future while offering immediate benefits to the donor. The most versatile planned giving tool is the Charitable Remainder Trust. It can bypass capital gains tax on the sale of appreciated assets, generate an increase in income, and receive a charitable income tax deduction. Next to writing a check, it is the best-known vehicle for philanthropy is the bequest. A bequest establishes your wishes today without relinquishing needed assets during your lifetime.

 

Van Halsema Legacy Society

The Dick and Thea Van Halsema Legacy Society is a group of like-minded supporters who have chosen to give a legacy gift to Kuyper College.

Partners in life and mission, Dr. Dick and Mrs. Thea Van Halsema invested their time and passion into their leadership roles at Reformed Bible Institute (RBI)/Reformed Bible College (RBC).  Dick served as the President of the College from 1966 to 1987, while Thea supported the College in a variety of roles during that time, including Dean of Women, Dean of Students, and Professor of Social Work.

Together, they started many innovative academic and evangelism-based programs.  These years of progress shaped the school we all deeply appreciate, today known as Kuyper College.
