Ways to Give

There are a variety of ways to make a meaningful gift to support the students and faculty at Milken Institute School of Public Health.

Cash, Credit Card or Check

You can make a gift today online using a credit card at GW's Secure Online Giving Page. Gifts made by check should be payable to The George Washington University (Designation in the memo section) and mailed to:

The George Washington University
PO Box 98131
Washington, DC 20077-9756

Monthly Giving

You can sign up for monthly credit card payments to spread your gift out over the fiscal year. You choose the amount per month and the number of months in a way that works best for you. Please call us on 202-994-7511 or email at [email protected] for more information.

Matching Gifts

Many employers sponsor programs that match charitable contributions made by their employees. With matching gifts, you can sometimes double or even triple the value of your gift.

Search the GW employers sponsor matching gift directory to see if your employer-or your spouse's employer-matches donations, or check with the human resources department in your workplace.

If your company matches, you may be able to access the forms directly through the search. Follow the set procedure, and The George Washington University will be happy to assist.

For more information, please contact us at 202-994-7511.

Planned Giving

With a planned gift, you can support GW's efforts to provide student financial aid, hire the highest quality professors, conduct groundbreaking research, and provide state-of-the-art facilities. Discover how a planned gift can benefit you and GW.

Real Estate

Donating property to GW can provide important tax advantages while eliminating the responsibility of property management. Depending on the gift arrangement, you may also benefit from a lifetime income stream, cash back from the gift transaction, or even retain the right to continue living in a property you donate.

Stocks and Securities

A gift of stocks or securities to GW can be arranged via electronic transfer or by receipt of stock certificates. The gift provides a full income tax deduction, negates capital gains tax, and may also avoid estate taxes.

We would be happy to talk to you, your lawyer, or tax adviser about the advantages of making a gift of appreciated assets such as stocks or bonds. For more information, please contact 202-994-8144.

Gifts-In-Kind

From the rare banking documents of presidents and senators to works of art to dinners purchased for students, gifts-in-kind are priceless for the inspiration and knowledge they impart to GW students and friends.

If you are interested in making an in-kind contribution, please contact Drew Flanagan at 610-888-1697 or at [email protected].

Endowment Gifts

Gifts of all kinds may be designated as a long-term investment through an endowment. Endowed gifts create a permanent legacy for scholarships, helping generations of students attend SPH, or an endowed faculty position may be created to bring the best professors and researchers to GW to work with our students.
