The USI Foundation urges USI alumni, friends, faculty and staff to make planned gifts through the USI Foundation to benefit the University of Southern Indiana.

The following pages offer ideas as to how you can be a part, truly a partner, in the shaping and developing our future through your gifts and support of the USI Foundation. Helping others can lead to unequaled personal and emotional fulfillment.

There are as many different ways to give to the USI Foundation as there are needs for your support. Planning a gift is more than just finding a need. It is trusting in the promise of the University's future. There are a lot of factors to consider. If planned giving is a new thought, you might want to take a moment to consider some of the factors and check out our chart briefly describing some of the charitable means that are available to you - see How Can I...?

The stories that follow this page share some of the different ways people became partners with us in changing lives. Take a moment to see how they - perhaps in circumstances similar to yours - have found ways to support   the needs of others and in turn enriched their own lives. Just click on the links below.

If you have already included the USI Foundation in your estate plans, please let us know by calling us or filling out our estate intention form. We would like to assist you in making certain your intentions will be carried out and invite you to become a member of Reflections, our planned giving society.

If you have not written a will yet, regardless of your charitable intent, please consider this as a gift to your loved ones.

Individual circumstances will vary - as with all tax and estate planning, please consult your attorney or estate specialist. We will be glad to answer questions and offer suggestions confidentially based on your personal circumstances. Please call us or e-mail us (see contact page). You may also use our information request form.
