Endowment Gifts
Endowment gifts are long-term investments aimed at securing the success of the Health System for years to come. These gifts are retained and invested to produce sufficient income to support student scholarships, faculty professorships, and other important programs.
Planned Gifts
There are three ways to support the School of Medicine through financial or estate planning: Plans from your estate, plans that pay you income, and plans that help the University now and your family later.

Bequests are gifts offered through estate plans, including wills, living trusts, and retirement plans.

Charitable Gift Annuities and Charitable Remainder Trusts allow you to make a gift to the University and receive income for your life or the lives of the chosen beneficiaries.
A Charitable Lead Trust makes it possible for the University to use the income from a gift made for a specified period of time, and then return the remainder to you or your heirs.
