NSU Foundation Celebrates

National Make-A-Will Month

This August the NSU Foundation is celebrating National Make-A-Will Month, which is a time to take an important step towards protecting your loved ones, preserving your wishes, and creating a lasting legacy. Thoughtfully prepared estate plans ensure that your assets are distributed exactly as you intend and provide peace of mind.

As you plan for your future, consider including NSU in your will or estate plan. Leaving NSU in your will costs nothing today but can have a transformational impact on future Spartans.

Join us this month for complimentary webinars covering the fundamentals of wills. These informative sessions will introduce the essentials of a will and provide the foundational knowledge you’ll need to begin planning your legacy with confidence.

Webinar Sessions are held on the following dates:

Wednesday, August 12 at 12:00 pm.
Wednesday, August 19, at 5:30 pm.

Donor Spotlight

COL Harold Hagans Says, 'No Amount Is Too Small'

Many potential donors may have the notion that they do not have the monetary resources to make a legacy gift commitment to NSUF. While an endowed scholarship fund does require a $25,000 initiation fee, it does not have to be paid in one lump sum and can be paid over five years. Lastly, if you really can not afford to make a $25,000 commitment, contribute what you can. Remember — no amount is too small. 

Our Areas of Support
