Giving Opportunities

The Keck Medicine Initiative at a Glance

As a donor, you may designate your contribution for a specific goal, or you may make your gift without restrictions. Gifts may be in cash, pledges payable over five years (or longer in special circumstances), securities, real estate, and select types of tangible property. You may discover that you can make a substantial gift through planned giving, or that you may increase the value of your gift by requesting matching funds from your employer. You may make a gift in honor of someone or to associate a donor’s name with a major project, facility, or endowment through the opportunities listed below.
