Cash Gifts

Making a cash gift makes an immediate impact on the department. They offer greater flexibility to support student programs, professional development opportunities such as internships and education abroad, and department initiatives to benefit students, alumni, our community, and Kentucky that are not supported by other funding sources. Cash gifts provide our department with flexibility to pursue emerging needs and opportunities that otherwise wouldn't be possible. 

  

Endowments

An endowment fund creates a permanent funding source that provides the department with an opportunity to impact students not only today but for generations to come. When you create an endowed fund, your initial gift is invested, and a percentage is paid out annually in support of the fund’s purpose, while any earnings in excess of this distribution can be added back to the corpus so the fund may grow over time. As the value of the fund grows, more monies are available from the fund to support the fund’s purpose: scholarships, programmatic support, research and other purposes such as education abroad, facility enhancements, and faculty and staff professional development. Endowment funds permit our donors to create a permanent philanthropic legacy designed to perpetually benefit our students and department. 

 

Planned Giving

With a little forethought and creativity, you can support the University of Kentucky without ever writing a check. Including the university in your overall estate or financial plans not only helps students, supports faculty, enhances programs, improves facilities and provides new opportunities for discovery, innovation, learning and outreach, but it can also provide you with tax benefits.
