Planned gifts are expressions of people who desire to ensure a vibrant future for young people. These gifts enable our friends and alums to encourage students to hold fast to our valued traditions of spiritual engagement, cultural enrichment, and social responsibility as they reach to the horizon. A gift to Friends provides new commitment, new resources, new opportunities for learning that last a lifetime.    

There are many gift opportunities available, including gifts that provide life income to you.  Please allow us to help establish your legacy by simply contacting us at giftplanning@friends.edu or calling Nancy Hinten, Director of Planned Giving at (316) 295-5820, or 1-800-794-6945 (extension 5820).
