How many times have you had to think of an appropriate gift for a friend or loved one to celebrate a birthday or anniversary? Several alumni have found the answer. They donate funds to the Stout University Foundation Inc., in honor of special occasions.
One donor, who wishes to remain anony-mous, explained "My parents were celebrating their 55th anniversary. And they said they didn't need anything and wished to just celebrate with their friends and family. They said that at their stage in life they were downsizing. Therefore, when I told them we were interested in contributing to the foundation in honor of their anniversary they were thrilled! In fact, they shared that idea with most of the relatives, and the contributions will continue to grow to produce a permanent scholarship in their names."
Gifts to the Stout University Foundation are tax deductible.
Information is available about how to include the Stout University Foundation Inc. in your will and how to establish a permanent endowment for scholarships, faculty development or supplies and equipment.
