SUU Planned Giving
Leave a Legacy
About the Founders Legacy Society
The Founders Legacy Society honors the generosity of donors who have named Southern Utah University in gift plans, including gifts through estates. T-Birds are learning, growing, and giving back to SUU because of the generosity of those who have come before them. Gifts that qualify for the Founders Legacy Society recognition include gifts in wills, trusts, and retirement plans, gifts that provide income, and more. By joining the Founders Legacy Society, you join others in celebrating the lasting impact that planned gifts have on SUU’s long-term success. If you have included SUU in your plans but have not let us know, we hope you will share your intentions by completing the form below or contact our planned gift office (email below) today. The Founders Legacy Society is a vital group of donors who are invited to special events and the opportunity to meet current T-Birds and hear their stories.
If you have included SUU in your plans but have not let us know, we hope you will share your intentions by contacting us (ryanstringfellow1@suu.edu) so we can ensure your gift supports an area you are passionate about!
