Ways To Give To Southeastern Louisiana University

Annual Giving

Many Souteastern Alumni make gifts each year to Southeastern's Annual Fund. These gifts, of all sizes, provide unrestricted funds -- a pool of resources that can be easily directed to meet the Universities standards of academic excellence. This fund is vital in filling the University's needs that are not met through state funds, endowments, or other long range support.

You may contribute to the Annual Fund by:

• Making a Gift Online Now
• Establishing a Payroll Deduction (for Southeastern Faculty and Staff)
• Responding to a Mail Appeal
• Responding to a Phonathon call from a Southeastern student  
• Establishing an Electronic Funds Transfer, which authorizes the automatic transfer of funds each month from your checking or savings account 

Matching Gifts

Southeastern Alumni can also multiply their support for the university each year by making use of their employer's matching gift programs.  The University is greatful to these companies and foundations for their generosity.

To find out if your company participates in a matching gift program please contact your Human Resources department or Personel Office.

In/Out Scholarship

Establishing an In/Out scholarship does not require a minimum amount to be established. However, it will not perpetuate itself.  After the entire amount is awarded, the scholarship no longer exists.  It must be renewed each year for the scholarship to be awarded.

Gift Planning

One of the most effective means of giving to Southeastern Louisiana University is a planned gift. Gift planning is the process of carefully selecting the best methods as assets for making a gift, such as cash, stocks, bonds, real estate, life insurance, trusts, and bequests.

A planned gift can enable you to assist Southeastern in its mission of academic excellence and leading the educational, economic, and cultural development of Southeast Louisiana while also reducing your burden of income, capital gains, or estate taxes.

Endowed Scholarships

A gift in memory or honor of a teacher, student, relative, or friend is a generous and thoughtful way to recognize a person's life and accomplishments. Scholarship donors can name the scholarship and set the criteria of the recipient.

Establishing an endowed scholarship requries a $10,000 minimum to be given in one lump sum or over a fixed period of time. Endowed scholarships exist in perpetuity, the principal of the endowment will never be touched.

You can also establish Endowed Professorships and Endowed Chairs.

Stock Gifts

Gifts of marketable stocks or mutual fund shares that have appriciated (increased in value) can have an immediate impact on Southeastern -- and also create an immediate income tax deduction for you based on the assets' current value.
