Year End Giving Guidelines 

Make an immediate impact

Give today

By giving to the Hope Fund, you’re investing in students today through scholarships and other immediate-use funds.

Make a future impact

Hope Forward

It’s not a scholarship, it’s a bold solution to the problem of the rising cost of higher education. Help us move Hope Forward.

Endowed Giving

Our endowment generates a permanent source of income that is used to provide financial aid to students, expand student-faculty research opportunities, continue academic initiatives, recruit and retain exceptional faculty and support programs in perpetuity.

Gift Planning

Plan to impact future generations while enjoying financial benefits for yourself. Give through a charitable gift annuity, bequest, cash, securities, property — and more!
