• Gifts from UK Tax Payers: If you are a UK tax payer -- even if you also pay taxes in the US -- you may be able to increase the value of your gift by donating to The UK Friends of Georgetown Limited, a UK-registered charity, and electing to have Gift Aid apply to your donation. Learn more.

Grow Your Contribution Over Time

• Gift pledges are formal statements of intention to make a gift. With a pledge, you may complete your gift by making regular payments over time. Each payment on your pledge is eligible for an income-tax deduction.
• Endowed gifts are invested by the university to generate income in perpetuity, providing you an opportunity to make a lasting impact. Endowed gifts can be established with a minimum contribution of $100,000. They can be directed towards scholarships, professorships and special programs.

Create a Lasting Legacy

• Giving through your will or trust offers a way to support Georgetown’s mission for generations while meeting your current financial needs. Learn more.
• Income gifts allow you to make a gift and receive income back—for you or a loved one. There are several ways to accomplish this tailored to your personal goals. Learn more.
• Other creative gift plans provide opportunities to transfer ownership of your home, farm or other treasured asset to ensure your dream of helping others is met. Learn more.

Recognize a Special Time or Person
