Planned Giving

Discover the Benefits of Giving Wisely

Did you know there are creative ways to support West Virginia University and its affiliated organizations? Ways in which WVU, you and your loved ones all benefit at the same time?

Such giving techniques are called "planned gifts," because with thoughtful planning, you create win-win solutions for you and WVU. For example:

Bob '76 and Jennifer '88, '90 Williams – "Every day we see the benefits of a WVU education and of the WVU Extension Service. Our future gifts will help in many ways, and we're proud to do that. "

You can make a gift that costs nothing during your lifetime.
You can give stock and realize larger tax savings.
You can get quarterly income for life in return for your gift.
You can donate your house, continue to live there, and get a tax break all at the same time.

Where to Begin?

If you've already completed a gift that will benefit WVU in the future through your estate or income-producing arrangement, you are cordially invited to join the Irvin Stewart Society, named for President Stewart who guided the University in an important growth period after World War II, now celebrating its 20th anniversary. We would appreciate that.
