Endowments

You can endow a department chair, a clinical program, or a community benefit service to create a permanent funding source.

There are minimum donation levels for endowments due to the costs of administering them. Please discuss with your local philanthropy office.

The entire amount of your gift remains intact:

  • Income from the endowment benefits the program or service that you designate
  • An endowment can be named in your honor or for a loved one

Endowments add prestige and help:

  • Create stability and sustain financial integrity
  • Attract leading physicians
  • Provide inspiration and encourage additional philanthropy

Endowments can be created with:

  • Current gifts
  • Pledges
  • Estate gifts
  • A combination of the above

Special Purpose Funds

Like an endowment, a named fund can be set up to support a program of service that is dear to your heart. Special purpose funds can also be named and funded similarly to an endowment. However, these funds are used as needed rather than being held indefinitely. The minimum amount to get started is $25,000.

Planned Giving Options

  • Bequests
  • Wills and Trusts
  • Retirement Plans
  • Life Insurance
  • Gift Annuities
  • Charitable Trusts
  • Endowments
  • Naming Opportunities
