Ways to Give

Private giving to the College of Education and Health Professions can be accomplished through a variety of means. Gifts of all sizes are a critical piece of our ability to provide a quality higher education experience for our students, faculty, and staff. Listed below are just a few of the many ways that you can contribute.

Annual Gifts

Why does my gift matter if it's not a major gift?
The Annual Fund at the University of Arkansas provides the colleges, schools, and programs across the Fayetteville campus the important discretionary revenue to meet a broad range of immediate needs. Every dollar counts. By giving to the Annual Fund, you may designate your gift to the college, school or unit of your choice, or where you feel the need is greatest.

Here are some ways to give

Endowed Gifts

Endowed giving is designed to provide permanent support for quality enhancement for the College of Education and Health Professions. The endowment program is based on the concept that gifts will be invested and only a portion of the interest earned will be used to carry out the intention of the donor's gift. Endowed gifts can also provide a permanent naming opportunity and can be established to reflect the name of the donor(s) or someone they wish to honor.

Types of Endowments

Non-Endowed Gifts

Non-endowed gifts allow a donor a great deal of flexibility and can be used to support students, faculty, or research programs. Non-endowed gifts are given to the college and then spent as directed. Depending on the preference of the donor, non-endowed gifts may be one-time, periodic, or an annual gift. Types of non-endowed gifts include creating a non-endowed scholarship that could be need- or merit-based and may or may not be renewable for an individual student, depending on a donor's preference. Non-endowed accounts can also be used to support faculty research and professional development opportunities. And, for still a third option, non-endowed support can be allocated to the discretionary spending of the dean of the college for projects deemed beneficial. Although non-endowed gifts are not a permanent source of funding for the College of Education and Health Professions, they do provide much needed support to our students and faculty.

Planned Gifts

Giving through a trust, bequest, insurance, or including the College of Education and Health Professions in your will are just a few planned giving options available. Planned gifts play an integral part in the future of the college, and we are very grateful for our alumni and friends who have ensured our future through their planned gifts.
