Endowed gifts are donated assets invested to generate an annual return in perpetuity. Endowments provide a source of financial stability during challenging economic times and ensure the continuance of many important programs. These gifts may be unrestricted, providing for the greatest needs of the college, or restricted to a particular use. Endowments are established with a minimum contribution of $20,000 through outright gifts pledged to be paid over a number of years. They also can be established now and funded later through estate bequests, gift annuities, trusts, and insurance expectancies.

There are a variety of ways to leave a legacy at the College of Nursing through planned giving. Planned gifts include bequests, gifts of real estate, gifts of insurance, and life income gifts such that provide lifetime payments to the donor. Many planned giving methods provide valuable tax advantages for the donor.
Just like cash gifts, planned gifts may be unrestricted or designated for a specific purpose within the College of Nursing. Planned gifts may also be used to establish an endowment.
[Some kind of graphic differentiation for the following text would be good, she requested a "bar"...but I think she means a background color to call attention to it, but the sizing should be small and tasteful, maybe the accent color?]
No matter the amount, contributions are professionally managed and focused on four priorities: student scholarships, faculty support, impactful programs and facilities enhancement. Students, faculty researchers, and programs all benefit from the generous gifts of our alumni and supporters worldwide.
