Giving Opportunities
Giving Back to Your University
Franklin University provides students with a solid educational base, which serves them well in their personal and professional lives. In addition, Franklin is proud to offer the lowest tuition of any four-year independent college in Ohio. Your generosity ensures that tuition remains affordable for future generations.
The Annual Fund defrays costs in every area of the operating budget to strengthen academic programs, support technology, provide needed scholarships and ensure continued innovation.
Methods of Giving
- Monetary Gifts - The simplest and most popular way to give; monies are immediately available to the University
- Gifts of Securities - Donating stocks, bonds or mutual fund shares may allow you to avoid capital gains taxes while making a larger contribution
- Gifts by Bequest - Deferred gifts simply direct a portion of your estate to go to the University
- Volunteering - A wonderful way to contribute to the Franklin community — volunteers are needed during various times of the year to ensure the seamless operation of our special events
No matter the size of your gift and method of giving, you are ensuring Franklin University continues to make a difference in the lives of working adults.
Matching Gifts
Many employers match the gifts of their employees to educational institutions. Through employer matched gifts, you can double or even triple your gift. Be sure to contact your human resources representative for the forms and information.
