Ways to Give

We invite you to invest in the future with us through your generosity and philanthropy. Your gifts will help fulfil bold aspirations for our students, faculty and the community around us. 

Types of Gifts

Take a look at the various ways in which you can give to the work that we do at SMU. Be in through a one-time term or endowed gift, recurring gifts or planned giving to leave a legacy, our giving consultants will be able to walk alongside you at every step of the way.

Endowed Gifts

Utilising income from the donated capital sum to support the chosen purpose of the benefactor’s gift – in perpetuity – whilst the capital sum is preserved.

Term Gifts

Utilising the entire capital sum for the gift purpose. The term gift ceases to exist after the capital sum is spent.

Recurring Gifts

Recurring gifts provide a consistent and stable stream of income towards SMU's fundraising efforts.

Planned Giving

Planned giving, also known as legacy giving, is a gift created at present to be realised in the future after the donor passes on.
