ENDOW YOUR ANNUAL GIFT WITH A PLANNED GIFT

By including Maryland Athletics in your will or trust, or by naming the university a beneficiary of your retirement or investment account, you can make a lasting impact on our student-athletes. When realized, your gift will be invested and will provide annual spendable income in perpetuity.

STEP ONE: Select an amount that will allow you to "Endow" your annual gift
STEP TWO: Include a bequest provision in your will or trust or name the university as beneficiary of your retirement or investment account
STEP THREE: Communicate this designation to the Terrapin Club
*Gifts of less than $50,000 will go into the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics General Endowment when realized. Commitments of $50,000 or more can establish a named endowment.
