“I hereby give, devise and bequeath to the University of Dayton, a nonprofit organization located at 300 College Park, Dayton, OH 45469-7053, Federal Tax ID #31-0536715, [ALL OR A PERCENTAGE] of the rest, residue and remainder of my estate to be used for [the University of Dayton's general use and purpose] [or a specific use].
Using Your Gift
Unrestricted gifts
An unrestricted gift from your will or trust is the most powerful way to give to UD. If you make an unrestricted gift, the University will use it to address its most pressing needs at the time the gift is realized.
Restricted gifts
Did you know that you may also choose to restrict your gift to a specific purpose at UD (e.g. to a named scholarship, etc.)? If you would like to use your gift for a specific purpose, or to establish a new fund, please contact us so that we can discuss the best way to incorporate and plan for your intentions.
Have You Already Included UD in Your Plans? Let Us know!
If you have named the University of Dayton in your will or trust, please let us know so we can ensure that your gift is used according to your wishes. Notifying us of your plans will enable us to plan for the use of your future gift. If you prefer to remain anonymous, we will keep your name and gift in strict confidence.
