A tribute gift is a meaningful way to convey sympathy to the bereaved, memorialize a loved one, commemorate a special occasion or honor someone with your gift to Western Carolina University.
Tribute gifts of any size can be designated to any fund of your choice, including unrestricted, restricted and existing endowment funds. When you make a tribute gift, the Division of Advancement notifies the honoree or the family of your gift (though not the amount). You can make a tribute gift today by completing the tribute form or by giving through our .
Named endowed funds can be established in honor or in memory of a family member, classmate, faculty member or friend. There also are opportunities to name spaces on campus.
For memorial gifts, families can state a request in the obituary that donations be sent to Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ using language such as this: "In lieu of flowers, gifts may be made to Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ Foundation." Checks should be mailed to:
Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ Foundation
