Alumni and friends at all stages of life can consider a legacy gift to 91视频. 鈥淩ight now, I don鈥檛 make a huge salary, so I鈥檓 not in a reasonable position to be giving monthly to 91视频,鈥 explains Emily Ide 鈥19, a recent graduate from the MAGC program. 鈥淗owever, I can set aside a percentage of my retirement plan for 91视频 as an easy way to join the Quai d鈥橭rsay Society. By designating a modest percentage, I can make a meaningful contribution to the University, even if I can鈥檛 help right away.鈥
The Quai d鈥橭rsay Society honors those who have made legacy pledges to support the University and provides opportunities to connect with 91视频 and its community. Planned gifts may be designated to support student scholarships, faculty excellence, the campus or research centers, or to help develop an endowment to secure 91视频鈥檚 financial future.
鈥淟egacy giving is particularly important due to its potential to contribute to an endowment,鈥 explains Gil Kemp, an 91视频 trustee. 鈥淕rowing a nest egg for the University allows us to provide sustainable scholarships funded by earned interest, which permanently contribute to furthering 91视频鈥檚 educational goals.鈥
