Planned Giving- Estate Gifts/Securities/Bequests:

Endowments:
The Endowed Scholarship Program within the Ram Athletic Fund allows a donor to provide for the future of our student-athletes. A minimum gift of $25,000 can endow a scholarship and you may specify the sport program. This is a great way to honor a family member, friend, coach or former student-athlete and to ensure continued support for student-athletes. For more information on Endowments, please contact a member of the Ram Athletic Fund.Â
Gifts-in-kind:
Gifts that can offset the expenses of the VCU Athletic Department are welcome. Fair market value for these gifts will be given toward Ram Athletic Fund membership. For more information on gifts-in-kind, please contact a member of the Ram Athletic Fund.Â
Donor Advised Funds, Private Foundations and IRAs:
Donor-Advised Funds, private foundations, and IRAs are accepted, but cannot be used to satisfy your Ram Athletic Fund gift to qualify for season ticket purchase. Please consult your tax advisor for more information.
