Alumni may give to the College of Arts and Humanities in many different ways throughout their lifetimes:
Appreciated securities
Bequests or planned gifts
Cash gifts
Charitable remainder trusts
Life insurance
Memorial or honorary gifts
Pledges
Real or personal properties
Gifts of stock are a convenient way to make a gift by using assets other than cash. The transactions can be handled with you directly or with your financial representative and have multiple benefits that vary with each individual’s portfolio.
Gifts made through your estate plan can help you realize your philanthropic goals and may allow you to make a more significant gift than is possible during your lifetime. Please contact Assistant Dean of Development Laura W. Brown for a confidential consultation. Or for more information about planned giving opportunities, please visit the university’s Office of Gift Planning.

An easy, flexible, and simple way to give is to send a personal check or money order by mail or use your credit card to make a gift online. You can easily designate your gift for the college or a college scholarship.
Earn money on your contribution by transferring money, securities, or other assets to a trust that will then pay you an income for life or a period of years. The trust will be designed by you, in conjunction with your financial advisor or legal representative, to fit your own needs. However you choose to support the college, please
contact the Development Office to direct your gift to the arts or humanities program of your choice.

If you are carrying more insurance coverage than your family obligations now require, you may find a hidden gift asset in a surplus, paid-up policy.
You may make a gift in memory of or in honor of a loved one, colleague, or mentor.
Payments spread over a period of time (five years maximum) allow donors to make large gifts at a comfortable pace.

Property is another attractive way to make a gift. When you make gifts of property, certain value appraisals are required. These transactions will be handled with you directly and in conjunction with your legal representative.
