Gifts and endowments

Financial contributions are greatly appreciated and important to the Academy’s current and future programs and operations. Contributions can be directed to the Academy Fund, which supports current Academy programs and operations. Contributions may also be made to the Academy Endowment Fund, which supports the Academy with income generated by investment returns on the fund’s principal. Such gifts are tax deductible to the extent provided by law.

A gift may be made any time or for a special occasion, such as a birthday or anniversary. An announcement will be sent to the honoree and an acknowledgement will be sent to the donor. Please make all checks payable to the University of Delaware and note that the gift is for the Academy of Lifelong Learning.

Gifts may be given in memoriam. An obituary notice may be worded to indicate that memorial contributions may be sent to the Academy of Lifelong Learning, 115 Arsht Hall, 2700 Pennsylvania Avenue, Wilmington, DE 19806.

The Academy Endowment Fund is particularly suited to bequests in wills, charitable trusts, and other giving options. Such gifts can be structured to benefit both the donor and the Academy.

Members are invited to consider making a donation to the Academy during registration by using the space provided on the Course Registration form under the payment section.

Additional information on gifts to the Academy is available by contacting the University Coordinator through the Academy Office (302/573-4447) or through the University Development Office (302/831-2104). Whatever the format or whatever the size, gifts to the Academy are gratefully received.
