Giving to History

Giving

Support from our alumni and friends helps ensure our continued leadership in historical research and in helping our students cultivate a crucial set of skills that not only help navigate the past, but the present as well. You can help students reach their dreams of graduation so that they can become successful teachers, professors, lawyers, governmental employees, advocates for non-profits, bankers, marketing and sales professionals, or many other careers for which a history degree prepares them.

Your gift matters.

Your thoughtfulness can help foster the next generation of scholars through courses, academic events, and research opportunities. Your gift can fund opportunities for our students to conduct research, study languages, and pursue internships across the globe, and support innovative faculty research and scholarship.

Endowments

Gifts made to create an endowed fund are invested for perpetuity. A portion of the earned income is then used to support the fund’s purpose. Any excess earnings are reinvested, allowing the fund to grow. Endowments may be created for student scholarships and fellowships, faculty chairs and professorships, or many other purposes.

Planned Giving

Planned gifts include gifts of marketable securities such as stocks and bonds; estate gifts through a bequest in a will or through a trust; charitable gift annuities or charitable remainder trusts that provide a lifetime income stream to the donor; and other gifts of real estate or tax-deferred retirement assets.
