Planned Giving
SUNY New Paltz is grateful to members of the Tower Society, the many alumni and friends who have had the foresight to provide for the future of SUNY New Paltz through their estate plans or other planned gifts. These thoughtful and generous gifts, both large and small, help sustain the educational excellence that is SUNY New Paltz. Tower Society members benefit the University through their own gifts and by inspiring others.

Sample Bequest Language
Gifts given through wills are known as bequests. Bequests are the most common and simplest way of making a deferred gift. To make a bequest, simply add the following language to your will:
"I hereby give, devise and bequeath [written $-amount or percentage of the estate or description of property] to SUNY New Paltz Foundation, a nonprofit organization located at 1 Hawk Drive, New Paltz, NY, 12561, Federal Tax ID #22-2141645, for SUNY New Paltz Foundation's general use and purpose."
