Alumni Giving Message

When you make a planned gift to Thunderbird, your generosity has an impact far beyond your lifetime. Your gift supports generations of students whose lives will be forever changed by their Thunderbird experience. Gifts like these can offer you and your family significant tax benefits as well as greater financial flexibility in meeting your personal and philanthropic goals.

Remembering Thunderbird with a bequest from your estate will help sustain and strengthen the School in years to come. A bequest costs nothing now and enables you to contribute to help further our mission.

Charitable Gift Annuity

When you look at ways to support Thunderbird, you should not feel like you have to choose between your philanthropic goals and financial security. With a charitable gift annuity, you agree to make a gift to Thunderbird, and we, in return, agree to pay you (and someone else, if you choose) a fixed amount each year for the rest of your life. The balance is used to support our work.

All gifts to Thunderbird are tax deductible. Funds will be deposited with the ASU Foundation, a separate non-profit organization that exists to advance ASU as a New American University, for the benefit of the Thunderbird School of Global Management. We thank you for your generous support.
