A tribute gift is a thoughtful way to celebrate a special occasion or remember a loved one while making a positive impact on current and future students. When directing memorial gifts to the University of Dayton in an obituary, please consider this suggested language:

“In memory of our loved one, contributions may be made to [fund or area of choice] at the University of Dayton at your.udayton.edu/tribute or UD Advancement, 300 College Park, Dayton, OH 45469-7056.”

You are welcome to choose a fund or area with the most meaning for your loved one. If you are unsure what to select, we suggest the University of Dayton Fund, which supports areas of greatest need. For more information about named endowed gifts or if you have questions, please contact the Advancement office at 1-888-253-2383.
