This means that the principal gift continues to grow over time and generate a steady, reliable source of income in perpetuity. By endowing your gift, you can make an impact that will be felt year after year, generation after generation.

 
REAL ESTATE GIFTS

A gift of real estate can an provide you with many financial benefits and can support the University’s teaching, research, students, and outreach. Gifts of real estate can be transformed into scholarship support, new faculty positions, the construction of new facilities, and program enhancements.

 
GIFTS OF SECURITIES/STOCKS
