to colleges and universities, you may be able to double or triple
the impact of your gift to Northwest University. Subsidiaries of parent
companies are usually eligible, and retired employees and spouses
may qualify as well. Simply ask your personnel office for a matching
gift form, follow the instructions for filling out the form, and send
the completed form with your gift to the University Advancement Office
at Northwest University, P.O. Box 579, Kirkland, Washington 98083-0579.
- Gifts of Stock: With gifts of stock and securities,
you may support Northwest University while realizing tax savings yourself.
Gifts of appreciated property enable you to save taxes twice: first,
you may generally deduct the full current value of the stocks (not
just what you originally paid); and second, you bypass capital gains
taxes. To transfer a gift of stock, please call the University Advancement
Office at Northwest University 425.889.5207 to and ask to speak with
the Director of Development or e-mail

- Gift Annuities: A gift annuity makes it possible to give
to Northwest University and also guarantee income for life for yourself
and/or someone you designate. Northwest University can arrange
for annuity payments to be electronically transferred to your checking
or savings account. For more information, contact Joni Welk-Campbell,
Director of Development, Northwest University, 425.889.5203.
- Scholarship Support: A wonderful way to honor a friend, a
loved one, or a faculty member is by establishing a scholarship in
his/her name. In the case of an annual scholarship, the entire amount
is awarded in the academic year following the year the gift is made.
Once the funds are expended, the scholarship ceases to exist. The
scholarship carries the name of the person you wish to honor. A minimum
gift of $1,000 is required to establish an annual scholarship.
If you want to establish a scholarship that lasts forever, consider
an endowed scholarship. An endowed scholarship named in honor
of a loved one, friend or professor, provides a return on your investment
and is awarded annually for life. To ensure sufficient scholarship levels,
a minimum of $10,000 is required to establish a named endowed scholarship.
Or you may add to our recently established Alumni Endowed Scholarship
Fund with a gift of any amount.
- Including Northwest University in Your Will: Estate gifts are
the ultimate expression of your support for the mission of Northwest
University. Recent changes in federal accounting standards enable Northwest
University to list bequests as assets. Just by notifying the school of
your estate plans, you strengthen the financial position of Northwest
University. If you have already included the University in your will, or
are contemplating your estate plans, please let us know.
