The solid foundation I received at UW has opened many doors for me. I think it is important to give while you are ‘alive and taking nourishment,’ and it will be such a joy to see the new building on its completion.

For the charitably inclined, certain types of gifts can provide solutions to taxing problems:
Charitable Gift Annuity
In exchange for your gift, the University of Wisconsin will provide payments for life to you or a beneficiary you designate.
You create a trust, and income from the trust is paid to beneficiaries you specify. Beneficiaries receive income for life or for a specified number of years, and at the end of the trust term, the assets of the trust pass to the University.
If you would like to make a substantial gift to the University but you do not have the current disposable income or assets to do so now, consider a charitable bequest.
