Memorial and Honorary Gifts

Remember a loved one or honor a friend by making a gift that will have a lasting impact on the SUU community.

A memorial gift is a meaningful tribute to someone special in your life. Such gifts can help ensure your loved one's legacy continues for years to come through either one time gifts or an endowment that will impact students for years to come.

Honorary Gifts

Making a gift to SUU in someone’s honor can be a thoughtful way to express your appreciation for that individual - or to mark a special occasion such as an anniversary, birthday, or graduation. Like memorial gifts, honorary gifts support vital educational resources for our students, while also recognizing an important person in your life.
