HOW WE USE YOUR GIFT

"The greatest thing this generation can do is to lay a few stepping stones for the next generation." – Charles F. Kettering, inventor

As you consider a gift to Marquette University, you may want to explore the many options available to you for giving.

What is Planned Giving?

A planned gift is a charitable contribution that takes into account the donor’s personal tax, financial, and estate circumstances and goals. It can be made during the donor’s life or after their death.

Planned giving can be a creative tool for making a gift to Marquette University while also maximizing benefits both to you and the university. Not only can planned giving offer great tax savings but it can also provide an income flow for life.

If you’re interested in considering gift planning options, please do not hesitate to contact the Office of Planned Giving at (414) 288-7428. We have a variety of tools that can help you plan for financial security and charitable giving. We can help you choose a gift plan that is right for you!
