Ways to Give
Create an Endowed Fund
Endowments provide perpetual support and financial stability for the University to enhance the things that make 91̽»¨ so unique and special. Endowment funds can be established to support scholarships, high-impact experiences for students, faculty research/creative works, faculty positions, academic departments, athletic teams, fine arts initiatives, and more.
When an endowment reaches its minimum funding level, a portion of the earnings in the fund are made available to support the restrictions outlined in a memorandum of understanding which guides the use of the funds in perpetuity.
Annual 91̽»¨
Donors can make gifts of any size to support 91̽»¨â€™s mission and enable our students to have amazing experiences during their time on campus. Annual giving allows the University to utilize your gifts where the need is most year after year. You can make a gift to the 91̽»¨ Fund, which supports all University priorities, or the Scholarship Fund, which is designated to ease the burden of tuition for our students.
