Gifts-in-Kind
Gifts-in-kind are non-cash donations of materials or long-lived assets that support and serve the school. Such gifts may include equipment, software, furniture, or works of art.

Planned Giving
What are the benefits of making a bequest?

Gifts of Life Insurance
A gift of your life insurance policy is another way to make a donation. If you have a life insurance policy that has outlasted its original purpose, consider making it a donation.
