Planned Gifts

How do you want to be remembered?

It is ironic that one of the most important decisions in our lives has to do with the end of our journey. We make choices throughout our lives. We decide where to go to school, who our friends and partners will be and how to spend our leisure time. We decide where to live, what career path to take and what charities to support.

Who will carry on your good work?

Create a living legacy to ensure your final gift and wishes come true. Determining what type of gift is right for you is as important as making the gift itself. Donations to the UW Oshkosh Foundation don’t have to be immediate, since there are many options for planned giving.
