Invest in UNH's future: endowed gifts
An endowment gift to UNH today provides a brighter future for UNH. When you create an endowed gift, you create a legacy?with both immediate and long-term benefits.
Endowment donations are invested. A portion of the annual income from the investment is used to address immediate needs at UNH. The remaining funds are reinvested to ensure indefinite support.
You can even express?a preference for your gift?to be invested while taking into account environmental, social and governance ("ESG") considerations. The UNH Foundation’s ESG endowment pool is invested and reported separately from the remainder of the Foundation’s endowment investments, and, as a result, its performance may differ from the performance of that remainder pool.

Welcome to the Thompson Society!
During the Celebrate 150 Campaign (2012-2018), more than 200 families made planned gifts to UNH, ranging from $10,000 to millions of dollars, which have already started to have an impact on future generations. But the story of legacy goes back to the origins of UNH when Benjamin Thompson left his farm and other assets to establish what would ultimately become the Durham campus of the University of New Hampshire.
The Thompson legacy has impacted hundreds of thousands of lives, and yours can, too.
As a legacy donor, you'll become a member of the Thompson Society, a distinguished group of supporters who have documented planned gifts to UNH. The UNH Office of Gift Planning will work with you to explore options that best meet your philanthropic goals and timeline--whether you wish to make an immediate impact, generate income with your gift, or make gifts through your will.?
We look forward to welcoming you to this prestigious membership of generous donors providing support to generations of Wildcats to come, and we are honored to work with you to?create your UNH legacy.
