Investing in Our Community
When you support the Ross and Carol Nese College of Nursing, you facilitate opportunity and transform lives. Your contributions support students, strengthen dynamic programs, and fuel innovative research that is shaping the future of nursing. There are many ways for you to make a lasting difference.
Annual Gifts
Annual gifts provide unrestricted support for the college’s core mission and immediate needs. Contributions, at all levels, add up to make an immeasurable impact on students, faculty, research, and programs.
Endowments
Endowed gifts are donated assets invested to generate an annual return in perpetuity. Endowments provide a source of financial stability during challenging economic times and ensure the continuance of many important programs. These gifts may be unrestricted, providing for the greatest needs of the college, or restricted to a particular use. Endowments are established with a minimum contribution of $20,000 through outright gifts pledged to be paid over a number of years. They also can be established now and funded later through estate bequests, gift annuities, trusts, and insurance expectancies.
