Popular Ways to Give
Wills, Trusts and Beneficiary Designations
Including a gift in your will, revocable living trust, or through a beneficiary designation is a simple way to provide support for the University of Montana. Your estate gift can take various forms, allowing you to provide for your loved ones while also making a meaningful impact on campus. Many donors choose to create an endowment with their estate gift. Such endowments can bear your name, or the name of a loved one. If you would like your gift to support a specific purpose, we can work with you to draft language to ensure your gift is used as you intend. Learn more about making a gift through your will, trust or beneficiary designations.
