“I never envisioned providing an endowment to a public educational institution until I had a series of discussions with Brian Kearney of the IU Foundation [now major gifts officer at Indiana Law] and Dean Lauren Robel. They sensed our sentiment about trying to help those in need, and so they suggested some form of endowment that would be available to reward senior-level law students in the form of tuition assistance if they agreed to engage in public assistance work for some period of time after graduation.”

Match Your Gift

Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match any charitable contributions made by their employees. If your company is eligible, request a matching gift form from your employer, and send it completed and signed with your gift. We will do the rest. The impact of your gift to the Law School may be doubled or possibly tripled! Some companies match gifts made by retirees and/or spouses. Find out whether your organization has a matching program.

Planned Gifts

In addition to generous gifts during their lifetimes, many of our alumni and friends choose to support the Law School through their estate or financial plans. These planned gifts provide a foundation of support for the future of the school, and establish the donor’s legacy at the Law School. Examples of planned gifts include:

We know that your bequest intentions are personal and you may wish to keep them confidential. If you wish to inform the Law School of your intentions, however, it will assist us in our current and future planning. When you include the Law School in your estate plan, you will also be recognized in Indiana University’s Arbutus Society. For additional information on making a planned gift, please contact Dean Regenovich, assistant dean for advancement, at (812) 855-9700.
