Welcome to Planned Giving
at
Purdue University


Planned gifts provide the resources that create extraordinary opportunities and preserve the future of Purdue University.

The programs of Purdue depend upon the goodwill of alumni and friends. To that end, there are several giving options from which you can choose - from naming Purdue as a beneficiary in your will, to establishing a charitable gift annuity, or to a more complex trust arrangement. 

We've created this easy-to-understand website to help you find the gift that's right for you and your family. Here you can learn how to plan a gift to Purdue University. We'll tell you about creative giving strategies that enhance your, and your family's, well being and help Purdue.

Keys to Planning Your Will
This website is interactive and easy to use:

If you're already considering certain giving options, simply click on Create Your Plan and select the gifts you want to learn more about.


If you're not sure which gift plan meets your financial and charitable goals, click here and send a short note to the Planned Giving Office with your questions and concerns.

Your planned gift will not only generate tax savings and financial benefits, but also give you the freedom of supporting the college, school, or program of your choice. 

Thank you for your interest in Purdue University.  The staff of the Planned Giving Office looks forward to helping you fulfill your charitable goals.
