Planned Giving Options
The goal of the 100 by 100 Endowment Campaign is to keep the Missouri School of Journalism at the forefront of journalism education by creating long-term financial security. In reaching this goal, we encourage alumni and friends to also think long term by considering a planned gift to benefit the School.
The simplest way to make a lasting difference is to remember the School in your will. You can bequeath a specific amount, or you may prefer to give a percentage of your estate. Your bequest can benefit a specific project or program, or you can provide unrestricted support for the School. We would be pleased to visit with you to learn of your interests and to discuss options.
If you would like to make a major gift but choose not to part with income during your lifetime, you may wish to consider establishing a life income gift-for example, a charitable remainder trust or gift annuity. These gifts would pay income to you for a specified period of time, after which the assets are distributed to the School of Journalism to be used for the purposes you choose. Life income gifts can provide tax savings and possibly increase your income while allowing you to make a meaningful gift to the J-School.
If you are interested in making a planned gift that will benefit the Missouri School of Journalism, we encourage you to talk with your financial advisor to design a gift that works best for your personal situation. In the meantime, if you would like additional information, please feel free to contact MU's Office of Gift Planning and Endowments.
Etched on the Journalism Arch, "Wise Shall Be the Bearers of Light" is a constant reminder of the duty of journalists.
