Great care is made in matching donor interest with the many gift opportunities that exist in the UWSP School of Health Sciences and Wellness. Once a donor has identified an initiative they would like to fund, we provide a detailed proposal that outlines the school\u2019s need, the impact of their gift, and the stewardship process which allows us to keep the lifelong partnership intact. Major gifts create, supplement and, in many cases, perpetuate the extensive learning opportunities of students enrolled in the UWSP School of Health Sciences and Wellness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-transform:uppercase\">Planned Giving<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLeave Your Legacy\u201d \u2013 Private giving to the School of Health Sciences and Wellness helps to ensure that the college and our departments can continue to meet the diverse educational needs of our students. Although much of the support for our college comes in the form of cash donations, many donors choose to leave their legacy, and realize tremendous tax savings, through a planned gift. A planned gift is simply defined as a donation that requires some form of planning. Whether you seek to avoid capital gains taxes on appreciated stocks or are looking to transfer assets into a life-long income stream, there are countless planned giving vehicles that can create a win-win situation for you and our students. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you in advance for your gift to the UWSP School of Health Sciences and Wellness. You will receive an acknowledgment of your gift from the UWSP Foundation Office, as well as a receipt that can be used for tax purposes.
