gifts that are unrestricted in purpose provide the greatest flexibility. These gifts allow the President and the Board of Trustees to direct resources where the need is greatest.

You may also restrict your gift to a particular area on campus, such as to the department where you received your degree, to need-based scholarships, or the library.
