How will my gift be recognized? How will I know how my gift is being used?
Unless you have designated your gift as anonymous, your name may appear in donor reports online or in print at the appropriate gift level.
Donors who have established named funds — typically endowed funds — receive regular reports from the Foundation. Reporting may include contact from staff, or students depending on the nature of the gift. In addition, annual financial reports are sent to all donors of endowed funds.

Can I make a gift in honor or memory of someone?
We are happy to acknowledge gifts made in honor or in memory of individuals and will send a notice of your gift to a family member or friend of the person being honored. (Please send us the name and address.) We will not include the amount donated unless you specify to do so. You will also receive a receipt for your gift.

While specific projects and sponsorships may provide varying gift and recognition levels, the Foundation is proud to carry on the legacy of someone special to you through named gifts. The minimum gift for an endowment fund is $50,000. Ask us about making payments on named gifts over time.
What is an endowment?
