Welcome to your resource for charitable gift planning!
More than ever, gifts from UMKC alumni and friends are critical to the University's ability to attract and retain top students, recruit renown faculty members, enhance campus facilities and sustain the quality of our academic programs.
We realize that, as you consider a planned gift to UMKC, you must balance your family's needs, your personal lifestyle, and your financial resources with your passion for the University and your wish to contribute to its preeminence.
Keeping this balance requires careful planning, and the Planned Giving Office at UMKC stands ready to help you make the most informed decision possible. If you wish to learn more about how you can leave a legacy at UMKC, please contact Philip A. Watson, Director of Planned Giving, at (800) 662-8652, (816) 235-5776 or watsonp@umkc.edu.
