In-Kind Gifts
Unique assets such as a book collection, equipment, software, art or real estate may be given in kind by transferring property ownership to the Eberly College.
Matching Gifts
You may work for a company that matches employees’ gifts to higher education. These programs are a great way to multiply your support.
Support an Existing Fund
We have many funds already established to support all areas of the Eberly College. You can designate your contribution to support students or faculty, advance research or improve facilities.
Create an Endowment
We can also tailor your interest to a specific need by creating an endowment that will provide long-term support. Endowments may require different minimum gifts depending on the purpose.
