A Charitable and Gift Planning Guide of The 1827 Societ y FALL 2020
Greetings from Hanover College! It has certainly been an interesting and challenging few months. The pandemic has affected all of us in ways we never imagined. While the campus community has been preparing for the start of the academic year, many students and families have labored with the burden of health concerns and, often, new financial concerns. Fortunately, we hope the return to campus will provide a sense of normalcy and security. Many of you have been the reason for this reassurance. Your support with gifts of time and donations to the College is greatly appreciated and has allowed Hanover to remain resilient. This legacy newsletter will provide information and resources that may also bring comfort and reassurance to you. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act has provided various forms of financial relief, including some with direct benefits. If you would like a fixed stream of income with tax advantages, but are uncertain about the markets, a charitable gift annuity is an increasingly popular

option. Also, if you have not completed your estate planning, you are not alone. A survey from Caring.com notes that only four in 10 American adults have a will or living trust. Again, my sincere thanks to everyone for your emails, gifts and continued support. Our campus is once again full of energy with new smiling faces and we could not have done it without you. Sincerely,
Kevin H. Berry ’90 Senior Director of Individual Philanthropy 517 Ball Drive Hanover, IN 47243 812.866.6813 berry@hanover.edu
