Planned Giving
Planned gifts combine philanthropic goals with smart financial strategies.
You may designate your planned gift to support any area of the Darden School.
Planned gifts can provide unrestricted support or be designated for a specific purpose. Scholarships and professorships are well-suited for future support, as students and faculty will always be among the School’s top priorities.
