Gifts may be designated to support an area meaningful to you, such as scholarships for students, crucial research to discover cures for diseases that may have touched your own family, improvements in community health, or recruitment of exceptional faculty.

Annabelle Jones has a simple answer when asked why she made a bequest in her will to the Mays Cancer Center, the newly named home to UT Health San Antonio MD Anderson Cancer Center: "It makes me proud to have the ability to support the doctors who saved my life."

UT Health San Antonio Training Future Generations

Annabelle Jones lives to improve the future of the next generations. Retired after 33 years of serving children as an elementary schoolteacher, she continues to make a difference in children's lives by reading with them at her local library and working on projects in her community to help create a healthy future. Annabelle's spirit was tested when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in (what year?). Fueled by her inherent courage and devotion to her health, her job and her family in her hometown of San Angelo, Annabelle sought the expertise and a second opinion from physicians at the Mays Cancer Center where she decided to undergo treatment.

"At the Mays Cancer Center I felt I received kind, generous and professional care that fit my needs." Annabelle beat breast cancer and believes research played a major role in her survival. "Research is the key to unlocking life's mysteries. There have been so many advances in breast cancer treatment since I was diagnosed."

She knows that each contribution to vital research can make the dream of curing cancer a reality. So Annabelle made the decision to leave a gift in her will to the Mays Cancer Center to be used for breast cancer research.

"I am just a retired schoolteacher, but I believe we are all in the same boat, and each of us needs to do what we can to help row the boat. I strongly believe we all should get behind the innovative research efforts at the Mays Cancer Center to defeat cancer. I want my legacy to be that in the future, our children and grandchildren will not have to deal with the pain and fear of cancer. I hope my contribution creates a domino effect so others give what they can."

The future is now: Creating a 'future legacy'

UT Health San Antonio Training Future Generations

When she was a faculty member in the School of Nursing, Carol Reineck, Ph.D., RN, MSN '82 passed the names of donors displayed on the walls more times than she could count.

"When I walked by those names every day, I would think of how appreciative we were of the support from our alumni and community. When I lost a family member, those names suddenly had so much more significance. I decided then that I wanted to join that family of donors to the School of Nursing," Dr. Reineck said.

Dr. Reineck knows of the three stages of life – survival, success, and significance – and said she considers making a difference now and in the future an important part of every stage of her life.

For many, the last phase, significance, is when most look to make a difference beyond their physical presence. This is exactly what Dr. Reineck hoped to achieve by joining the list of names she had seen every day. Thus, she immediately began planning her legacy – her "future legacy."

To create her "future legacy," Dr. Reineck decided that a deferred gift annuity was the right gift for her. This allowed her to make a current gift, receive an income tax deduction, and ensure guaranteed annuity payments for life beginning at a time in the future that she determined.

"Life is uncertain," Dr. Reineck said. "For me, this gift option was perfect. I can help the School of Nursing and create a future income stream for myself that may help with unexpected expenses.

"The needs of our School of Nursing in the future are going to be great. As our university becomes less reliant on state support, we will be looking to private philanthropy to help us achieve our mission of educating the future generations of nurses. I am so honored to be a part of that future, and I hope that others will join me by creating their own future legacy."

A gift for now and for the future

UT Health San Antonio Training Future Generations

Deborah Heritage will never forget the day her husband, John, awoke after his liver transplant surgery in San Antonio. "He was like a new person," Deborah said. "It was like a switch had turned on transporting him from death's door to life again."

Just two months earlier, while living in Chicago, the Heritages had been told by physicians there that John's rare AB blood type would most likely prevent him from undergoing transplant surgery.

Deborah's determination to help her husband led her to the University Transplant Center, a partnership of The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio and University Health System. Upon her first phone interview with the Center staff, Deborah said she felt an immediate connection. From then on, Deborah said the encouragement and support they received from the staff made them feel like part of the UT Health San Antonio family.

John received a new liver and a new lease on life in San Antonio. "Not only did the surgery save his life, the excellent post-op care John received prolonged and enhanced his quality of life for years after his transplant."

To celebrate her husband's life, and to recognize the compassionate care received from the UT Health physicians, tailored to fit John's needs and his personality, Deborah established the John D. and Deborah Heritage Endowed Award for Excellence in Transplantation. The gift supports talented residents in the field of transplantation.

In addition to this current gift, Deborah has named the UT Health Science Center the partial beneficiary of several life insurance policies that will increase her endowment in the future.

Gifts Through Trusts


Charitable Lead Trusts

A Charitable Lead Trust allows you to give an annual gift to UT Health San Antonio for a period of time, receive a charitable income tax deduction, and receive the remaining assets back when the trust's term ends.

Download More Information About A Charitable Lead Trust

Charitable Lead Trusts

There are several types of lead trusts. In general, a charitable lead trust (CLT) makes payments to UT Health San Antonio now, while reducing your tax costs for transferring assets to your heirs in the future. Your financial advisor can determine which type of lead trust might be most beneficial for your planning purposes. A charitable lead trust is often appealing to individuals who wish to make a gift while retaining property or other important assets in their family.

Under a lead trust agreement, a donor contributes assets to a trust from which UT Health San Antonio will receive distributions for a set number of years or for the life of the individual. Depending of the type of lead trust, when the Lead Trust terminates, the assets are either returned to the donor or distributed to others (usually heirs).

This strategy can result in substantial tax savings. Although the amount given to a lead trust may be subject to taxes, the projected value of the charitable gift portion for UT Health San Antonio is subtracted from the trust amount in determining how much is actually taxable. As an added benefit, any increase in the value of the assets in the trust can pass to heirs free of gift and estate taxes. With careful planning the tax may be only a tiny percentage of what would otherwise be due if the assets were given to the heirs outright, and sometimes even eliminated.

How it Works

  • When you establish the trust, you qualify for an upfront charitable income tax deduction for the income stream the trust will pay to UT Health San Antonio.
  • Your trust is invested and managed by the professional or private trustee of your choice.
  • You can structure the trust to pay income to one or more charities, either for a term of years or a person's lifetime.
  • You can designate your gift to start an endowed fund or to support a particular project at UT Health San Antonio.

How UT Health San Antonio Benefits

The University receives an annual income from the trust. The income is either a fixed amount or a percentage of the trust assets' annual fair market value.

Minimum Gift

Trustee's suggested minimum funding amounts and fees will vary, but these trusts are typically funded with at least $500,000.


Charitable Remainder Unitrusts

Charitable Remainder Unitrusts allow you to make a gift of cash, stock, or real estate to UT Health San Antonio, receive a tax deduction for a portion of your gift, and receive variable income from your unitrust for life.

Learn More About Unitrusts

Flip UniTrusts

A Flip trust allows you to donate illiquid assets like business interests or assets earning little or no income like real estate to receive an immediate tax deduction, and allow the value of those assets to appreciate in the trust tax free. When they are sold, the trust 'flips' to a conventional charitable remainder trust and income payments to the beneficiary begin.

Download More Information About Flip Charitable Remainder Unitrust

How You Benefit

  • You receive a charitable income tax deduction in the year that you make your gift, but minimize income until you need it and enjoy tax-free growth on the trust assets.
  • If you fund your trust with stock or real estate, you avoid paying immediate capital gains taxes on the appreciation.
  • You can set up a trust to pay income to multiple people, either for their lifetimes or for a specific number of years (up to 20).
  • You can also list more than one charity as a remainder beneficiary.
  • The income from a unitrust can grow over time, providing you with a potential hedge against inflation.

How UT Health San Antonio Benefits
