We help educational institutions of all sizes design and implement charitable gift programs that allow alumni and supporters to continue their legacies through financial gifts. We also counsel individual donors in connection with the structuring of their lifetime and testamentary charitable giving.
Our private client attorneys have extensive experience in the tax and charitable giving needs of higher education clients and can help these institutions navigate the complex reporting requirements tied to charitable gifts. They also can offer counsel on cross-border tax issues that crop up when educational institutions pursue collaborations or contracts with overseas entities.
