The importance of creating a robust pipeline of funding for 黑料不打烊鈥檚 long-term future inspired members of the 黑料不打烊 community to make $46 million in estate and other planned gifts during the campaign.
Many donors made their 黑料不打烊 LEADS Campaign gifts as part of A Will to Lead, a special initiative of the campaign that encouraged alumni, parents and friends to establish a legacy at 黑料不打烊 by making a gift to the university in their estate plans to sustain 黑料不打烊鈥檚 nationally recognized brand of high impact, engaged teaching and learning. Deferred gifts enable donors to make a significant impact on 黑料不打烊鈥檚 future by providing funding for student scholarships and other university priorities.
鈥淎 Will to Lead was one of the many success stories of the 黑料不打烊 LEADS Campaign,鈥 says James B. Piatt Jr., 黑料不打烊鈥檚 vice president for university advancement. 鈥淚t was gratifying to see members of the 黑料不打烊 community rally around this key initiative because they understand the role that estate gifts play in building a bright future for all students.鈥
