Giving Endownments

Endowments

A Gift for Today, Tomorrow, and Beyond

By establishing a named endowment at UTeach, you can create a lasting legacy that supports teacher preparation, STEM education, and the next generation of educators. Your gift ensures that vital initiatives—such as programs, staff positions, research, and professional development opportunities—continue to thrive, benefiting educators and students across the country for years to come.

Endowment gifts provide a reliable source of funds, offering long-term support for UTeach’s mission to transform education. You can contribute to this enduring impact through outright gifts, pledges, or tax-efficient methods such as stock donations, IRA transfers, or planned gifts like bequests or life insurance designations.

Your endowment ensures that the principal remains intact, with annual returns reinvested to grow the fund over time. This allows UTeach to adapt to inflation and continue its work of empowering STEM educators, deepening partnerships with school districts, and advancing cutting-edge programs in teacher preparation and professional development.

By establishing an endowment, you’ll help UTeach recruit top talent, provide opportunities for student internships and research fellowships, and support projects that shape the future of education. Your gift will create a lasting impact on students, teachers, and communities nationwide.

If you are interested in creating an endowment, UTeach’s development officer, Dean Curran, can assist you with identifying and documenting your gift intent and determining funding strategies to help you reach your philanthropic goals.
