Gifts

Membership eligibility is established through gifts or pledges to any department or program in the College of Human Environmental Sciences. Designated gifts are invited for whatever fund or purpose the donor desires, provided such use conforms with the College’s mission.

Donors may request that their gifts be placed in a special endowment fund named for the donor or someone else. Earnings realized from such funds are used to support the purpose of the endowment. The minimum amount for an endowment is $25,000, payable over five years.

Donors also may designate their gifts as unrestricted, to support needs of the College that cannot be met with state funds, such as: scholarships, fellowships, research, faculty enhancement and many others.
