The Regency Foundation
Helping you plan and give wisely.
Cairn University is ready to facilitate assisting our alumni, friends, and former students who desire to make deferred gifts to the University. Guidance can be provided through advanced estate planning techniques and charitable gifting strategies, such as charitable remainder trusts, bequests, donor-advised funds, and gifts of highly appreciated property, as well as gifts of life insurance, real estate, and more. Cairn University works with The Regency Foundation (a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization founded by Cairn University) to strengthen the long-term financial security of the University through deferred giving. The Regency Foundation is also responsible for the investment management and oversight of the University’s endowment.
The Regency Foundation provides:
- personal financial planning consultations with no obligation
- estate planning design and assistance with wills, powers of attorney, and living trusts
- charitable remainder trusts, charitable lead trusts, and donor advised funds
- trustee and executor services
- charitable gift planning
- educational seminars for individuals, churches, and Christian organizations on financial planning and planned giving

What is Planned Giving?
Planned Giving can be defined as the process of making a charitable gift, during a donor’s life or at death, that is part of his/her personal financial plan. Donors who focus on planned giving take advantage of tools and techniques allowable under the Internal Revenue Code that reduce one’s personal income tax liability or ease the burden of federal estate taxes and state inheritance taxes.
Charitable giving provides the best alternative to paying taxes. We can usually offer a charitable giving technique that will offset most, if not all, of the taxes due. This provides a way for people to control where their money will go and how it will be used rather than giving it to the IRS.
