Individual Gifts
Planned Gifts
Planned giving includes bequests, annuities, trusts, insurance, and other major deferred gifts. National University has benefited from generous estate giving from many of its alumni over the years. Large gifts should be carefully planned to ensure that the intent of the donor is satisfied, that tax strategies are optimized, and that the gift is in an appropriate form.
What better way to leave a legacy than to support the education of tomorrow’s health care leaders? For more information on planned giving, please call us at 630-889-6702.

Gifts-in-Kind
Memorial Gifts
Memorial gifts are a special way to recognize and honor a deceased loved one or colleague. Sometimes the family asks that donations be made to National University in lieu of flowers or to show support for a person’s chosen profession.
To make a memorial gift, simply mail the donation to the NUHS Office of Development (200 E. Roosevelt Rd., Lombard, IL 60148). A list of memorial gift donors is provided to the family. Receipts are sent, along with a letter of gratitude, to the donor.
If the gift being considered is very large (in excess of $25,000), then the donor may wish to consider a named endowed scholarship or other endowed program.
For more information on memorial gifts, please email [email protected] or call 630-889-6702.
