    Expertise

    Linda Mazur ’81 directs the Pomona Plan, the life-income and legacy program of Pomona College.  She helps people receive secure retirement income in ways that are donor-centered and tax-advantaged.  Linda and her gift planning colleagues work closely with alumni, parents, and friends of the College to find customized solutions to their particular tax and financial needs and interests.  Well-known for the high payout rates and tax advantages of its charitable gift annuities, the Pomona Plan also offers and administers charitable remainder trusts.  Linda can help facilitate the funding of life-income gifts with cash, stocks and bonds, real estate, and other complex assets.  With a background as an estate planning attorney, Linda can also assist in the planning of legacy gifts to Pomona College.
