Ways to Give

Bequest

You may be looking for a way to make a significant gift to help further our mission. A bequest is a gift made through your will or trust. It is one of the most popular and flexible ways that you can support our cause.

IRA Charitable Rollover

An IRA charitable rollover allows individuals age 70½ or older to reduce their taxable income by making a gift directly from their IRA.

Beneficiary Designation

A beneficiary designation gift is a simple way to make a gift to support Southwest Minnesota State University Foundation by designating us as a beneficiary of your retirement, investment or bank account or your life insurance policy.

Donor Advised Fund

You can make gifts during your lifetime. When you pass away, your children can carry on your legacy of giving.

Our Mission

We exist in order to engage alumni and friends of Southwest Minnesota State University (SMSU) in funding scholarships, projects and activities that benefit SMSU students and support the strategic priorities of SMSU.

Your Feedback

Your feedback will help us stretch every contribution even further so that together we can fulfill our mission and make a significant impact in our community.
