Giving Methods

The University of Dayton is prepared to accept your generosity in any way you choose to extend it.

Planned Giving

What if it were possible to make a gift of "startling significance," the kind of contribution many friends of the University of Dayton would like to make, if there were just some way to do it? We're talking about gifts that truly make a difference, that ensure a level of support that magnifies our ability to fulfill our mission ... and multiplies your personal satisfaction and recognition. 

Strange as it may sound, a gift of "startling significance" often can be made at low cost. It's just a matter of planning what to give, how to give, and when to give. We have many ways for you to make  a "planned gift." Our staff will provide all of the information about these options to assist you in making the choices that are best for you and your family.
