Why Give

The difference between a good institution and a great one is the annual support of its alumni and friends. Annual giving allows Stevens to plan for the future and nurture the next generation of innovators. The university relies on these gifts to ensure a steady source of resources for its renowned faculty, talented students and groundbreaking research. Donors may also set up a recurring gift that is convenient, customizable, and environmentally friendly. It’s an easy way to make a big impact that works for your budget and schedule.

Through transformational giving, philanthropists can realize their vision for the future of Stevens while making a lasting impact. Transformational gifts (donations of $100,000 or more) can be designated for current use or to establish a fund in perpetuity in Stevens’ endowment. Gifts to capital funds help build and restore campus facilities, and sustain a comprehensive range of academic programs.

Planned gifts help donors meet current philanthropic goals and extend their generosity well into the future. Learn about some of the most common ways to plan gifts, including gifts from an estate, gifts that provide income for life, and gifts using creative funding assets.
