Endowed Gifts

Endowments gifts are invested to produce ongoing income for a designated purpose. Because endowed funds are invested, they have a lifetime presence on Morgan’s campus and live in perpetuity. A named endowed fund may be established with a gift of $25,000 or more and can be used to support scholarships, faculty chairs, lectureships and more. Gifts can also be made without a designated purpose so that they assist with University priorities at the time.

Memorials and Tributes

A gift made in honor of a loved one, faculty member, student, or colleague is a wonderful way to recognize a person’s life and accomplishments or to commemorate a special occasion, such as a birthday, graduation, or anniversary. Gifts may be in honor or in memory of someone or an entire class to an existing fund held at the Morgan State University.

Bequests

Bequests have a strong and lasting influence on the character of Morgan and provide an enduring source of support for our students. For many, bequests are relatively easy to establish, often with simple language in your will or trust.

If you have already included Morgan in your estate plans, please let us know so that we may thank you and add your name to the Legacy Society Honor Roll of Donors.
