Meet donors

Robert L. Sproull, President Emeritus

When the University's Board of Trustees voted in the fall of 2002 to establish donor-advised funds, my wife Mary and I were pleased to be the first donors.

A University donor-advised fund is a smart alternative to commercial charitable gift funds or a private foundation. There are no fees, and our many charitable interests benefit from the University's expert endowment management and the administrative services of TIAA-CREF.

A donor-advised fund is truly philanthropy simplified, providing a range of positive benefits to assist University alumni and friends to better manage their charitable giving programs.
