Support That Lives On

Your Gift Can Last Forever

An endowment gift to Murray State University today provides a brighter future at Murray State University Foundation. When you make a donation to an endowment, you give a gift with both immediate and long-term benefits.

Endowment donations are invested. A portion of the annual income from the investment is used to address immediate needs at Murray State University Foundation. The remaining funds are reinvested to ensure indefinite support.

An Example of How It Works

Couple Smiling Longtime supporters of Murray State University Foundation, Charlie and Chris have two goals: First, they want to make sure Murray State University Foundation continues to receive support after they are gone. Second, they want to create a lasting legacy for Charlie’s parents.

Charlie and Chris make a $25,000 donation to Murray State University Foundation, which we invest, and each year, a portion of the income from the invested money will be used to support our mission in honor of Charlie’s parents. Plus, Charlie and Chris qualify for a federal income tax charitable deduction on their taxes.
