Directing your gift -- Endowment Opportunities

You may prefer to direct your gift for a special purpose thereby assuring that your assets will be working in a meaningful way. In addition, a directed gift to the endowment also ensures that your name, or the name of a family member or friend, will be remembered in perpetuity.
