The Gift of Opportunity

Each year when new students arrive on campus, we tell them their possibilities are limitless and their direction is boundless. We know their Jewell journey can take them anywhere they want to go, and to places they never imagined. Many students tell us they start college without a direct path in mind but graduate with a clear focus. Jewell helps them find true north by providing opportunities only available because of your support. Through our In Pursuit: Jewell’s Campaign for the Future, your investment will ensure the College can guide the next generation of Cardinals.

You can make regular contributions via automatic withdrawal from your checking or savings account by completing the Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) Authorization Agreement and mailing it with a voided check to the address noted above.

Donor Advised Fund

A donor advised fund (DAF), which is like a charitable savings account, gives you the flexibility to recommend how much and how often money is granted to William Jewell College and other qualified charities. You can recommend a grant or recurring grants now to make an immediate impact or use your fund as a tool for future charitable gifts. Please contact Clark Morris, vice president for Institutional Advancement, at 816-415-5997 or morrisc@william.jewell.edu, for information on how to work with a DAF for giving to Jewell.

Retire Plan Assets

Many people have found that they have sufficient funds for retirement and that they will likely have funds left for distribution to heirs and charitable causes they wish to support. Recent changes in the laws governing individual retirement accounts (IRAs) have made it easier to give a portion of your IRAs as a charitable contribution to William Jewell College.

Gifts that Leave a Legacy

From a simple bequest to establishing a charitable remainder trust, there are many ways in which you can leave a legacy through a planned gift to William Jewell College. Contact Clark Morris at morrisc@william.jewell.edu to get started or for more information.
