Open Doors for Future Leaders.
Scholarship support is among the Crown Family School’s highest priorities. Financial support allows talented students from a wide range of backgrounds to pursue a Crown Family School education and prepares them to bring their knowledge, skills, and leadership to communities and organizations around the world.
Gifts can provide scholarship support, help students meet unexpected financial needs, and expand access to the experiences that are essential to their education.
Advance ideas with impact
Crown Family School faculty pursue rigorous, interdisciplinary research on complex social challenges and work to ensure that knowledge informs policy and practice. Philanthropy provides the flexibility to pursue promising new ideas, launch innovative research, support collaboration, and translate discoveries into action.
Strengthen our impact
The Crown Family School has long believed that scholarship and education are strengthened through engagement with the world beyond the University. Philanthropic support helps faculty, students, and partners build and sustain work that connects research, policy, and practice and contributes to stronger communities.

Other Ways to Give
Are you interested in supporting the important work of the Crown Family School but don't have the resources to make a gift right now? If so, you might wish to include the Crown Family School in your estate plans.
Bequests—gifts through wills or living trusts—are simple to arrange, reduce your taxable estate, and allow you to retain your assets during your lifetime. There is no minimum amount required for a bequest, and you may designate a specific sum or asset, provide for a fixed dollar amount, or the residue of your estate to the Crown Family School.
You may also designate the Crown Family School as a beneficiary of a portion or all of your 401 (k), IRA, or other retirement plan.
If you can make a gift now but would prefer to receive lifetime income in return, a deferred gift—such as a charitable gift annuity or charitable remainder trust—may fulfill your financial and philanthropic objectives.
Many of these gift types offer significant tax benefits. For more information about these and other types of planned gifts, please contact the Office of Gift Planning at 773.702.3130.
