Leaving a legacy gift to the Shawnee State University Foundation is a meaningful way to support future generations. Whether through memorial donations or a bequest in your will, your gift ensures that your values live on.  

Memorial Donations

A simple way to honor your legacy is to request memorial contributions in lieu of flowers. Share your wishes with your family, and the funeral home will include this request in your obituary. Suggested wording:   

“The family of [name] kindly requests memorial donations be made to the Shawnee State University Foundation in lieu of flowers.”  

 Bequests in Your Will  

A bequest is a flexible way to make a lasting difference. You can designate a specific amount, a percentage of your estate, or particular assets. Examples of bequest language include:  

- “I, [name], bequeath the sum of $25,000 to the Shawnee State University Foundation.”  

- “I, [name], bequeath 10% of my estate’s value to the Shawnee State University Foundation.”

For more complex arrangements or guidance, consult your estate planning professional, attorney, or accountant.
