Types of Gifts

In addition to outright gifts of cash, stock, or property, you may want to consider these types of contributions:

Endowments use interest earned from donated principal to fund professorships, scholarships, and labs.
Through charitable remainder trusts, you can receive income and a charitable income-tax deduction.
Deferred, or planned, gifts, such as bequests, life-insurance gifts, and irrevocable trusts, enable you to contribute to the Division of Sustainability Engineering and Environmental Engineering through your will.

As with outright gifts, any of these contributions to the Purdue Sustainability Engineering and Environmental Engineering may be designated for a particular purpose or undesignated. Undesignated gifts provide Sustainability Engineering and Environmental Engineering the flexibility to meet our highest priorities.
