Welcome to Kettering University
Planned Giving
Gift annuity, charitable remainder trust, naming Kettering as a beneficiary of your IRA or of a life insurance policy, a bequest in your will...these are only a few of the "planned gifts" you can arrange to help Kettering and its students. Some gift models offer significant tax benefits and an income stream to you. The "Create Your Plan" link to the right explains the many choices in planned giving.
Lock in a high rate of return now on a gift annuity before the decrease in rates in July. Run your own numbers to see if a gift annuity is right for you by clicking on the lighthouse photo on the right hand side of this page. Call or email me, Sue Weiss, at 810-762-9768 or sweiss@kettering.edu to discuss a gift annuity or other ideas.
Kettering University, formerly General Motors Institute, is proud of the fact that it is the only 100% co-op university in the world.

 | Tax-Free Sale
Gene and Carol White were age 55 when they purchased some development land outside of town. They thought it would be a good investment that they could later sell for a higher price. They have owned the property for 10 years and now would like to sell. More on Tax-Free Sale >>. |
 | Grateful Alumnus Funds an Annuity
There are many words to describe alumnus Morrie Dadd '50. Some are: father, husband, patriot, navigator-bombardier with 55 missions in Korea and a Distinguished Flying Cross, poet, engineer, manager, hunter and fisherman. Morrie is also a grateful alumnus of GMI, now Kettering University, and attributes much of his success in life to the co-op education he acquired at GMI. He co-oped and worked fulltime for General Motors Diesel Equipment Division in Grand Rapids initially. He then moved to the company now known as SPX, as Product Engineer, then in Engineering and Sales, General Manager over 3 plants, and retired as Manager of Marketing and Product Development.

"Tommy, I'm not sure that Dalmatians make the best pets," I told my grandson. The fire department was riding down Main Street in a shiny red engine. They were waving flags and I wondered whether they were hot in their navy blue t-shirts.
