Office of Gift Planning

Plan to Make History, Plan to Make a Difference

With wise and thoughtful planning, we all have the power to make history — and Penn’s Office of Gift Planning is here to help.

Staffed by charitable giving professionals, we assist alumni, parents and friends of the University of Pennsylvania with the integration of your charitable intentions with your overall tax, estate and financial planning. Working with your advisers, our values-based, donor-centered approach helps you to meet both your personal planning and charitable giving objectives through creative gift planning solutions to common planning needs.

As Penn embarks on Making History: The Campaign for Penn, your generosity promises to do even more for the University. Every new gift strengthens the programs in which you invest and through your involvement at this critical time, adds to the momentum of the Campaign.

Launched in October, 2007, the Campaign is a $3.5 billion fundraising effort that will empower Penn to create a new kind of university: one prepared to tackle the pressing problems of the 21st century and to improve the lives of people around the globe. Using the tools on this website and our industry-leading gift planning staff, we hope that you will join us in Making History together.
