How your legacy can ignite change for generations to come
Have you ever thought about the impact that your personal journey could have on an institution like ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½?
Since the creation of the university’s first permanent endowment in 1836, thousands of alumni and friends have created endowments dedicated to the success of our students, faculty, research and programs. Even more remarkable is how so many of these funds reflect areas of support that were meaningful to their namesakes.
From the couple who endowed a scholarship decades after meeting on campus to the professor whose endowment supports the research that helped launch his career, our community enables ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ to attract the best and brightest students by offering competitive scholarships and funding life-changing research.
There are a variety of tax-friendly vehicles you can employ to establish an endowment. Whether you wish to write the university into your will or trust, look for tax-effective ways to use your IRA or explore tools that provide you with lifetime income, like Charitable Gift Annuities, is a great place to start your research. And when you’re ready, ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½â€™s strategic giving team is available to answer your questions and help you find the vehicle that is not only right for your finances, but will also maximize your impact on campus.
A permanent endowment, by its nature, is designed to offer support to the university today, tomorrow and in perpetuity, empowering future generations of students, researchers and professors in their academic and professional pursuits.
Your personal legacy can serve as the catalyst for a lasting impact at ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½.
