UW-Whitewater needs your support. Outright gifts Gifts of cash, securities or other real properties provide the University with much needed financial assistance. Outright gifts have an immediate impact on UW-Whitewater's colleges and programs because they can be used to support a variety of existing needs. A pledge is a formal statement of an intention to make a gift to the UW-Whitewater Foundation. An immediate gift may follow it, or it may simply confirm your intention to make a gift in the future.
Many donors choose to complete their pledges by making regular payments over time.
This method allows donors to give more generously than they may have originally considered. Whenever possible, the UW-Whitewater Foundation encourages payment of pledges within five years of the original commitment, but the needs of the donor always receive first consideration. Your gift to the UW-Whitewater Foundation can provide you interest income for a lifetime or for a set period for years. After that designated time, the funds become available to the University. As an alternative, you can set up a charitable trust which pays an income to the University or to a family member or friend.
