Honors College Gift Account
The Honors College at the University of Utah is a home for changemakers, leaders and innovators. It is a place where undergraduates of all backgrounds and majors develop the skills and perspectives to build a better future for our community and the world. Unrestricted gifts to the Honors College support the greatest needs of the college and provide funding for student initiatives, engaged learning, research, and travel.
Honors College Parent Giving Fund
The Honors College Parent Giving Fund engages student families and creates an accessible and equitable college community. Honors College leadership values feedback about the family experience. Parents can play an important role in enriching the Honors College community and directly impacting the individual experience.
Gifts made to the Parent Giving Fund provide support for need-based scholarships to cover the cost of Honors College fees each year ($650/student).
Parents who give $500 or more become members of the Crimson Parents Society: https://parentgiving.utah.edu/crimson-parents-join/
Legacy Giving
For many alumni, parents, and friends, Legacy Gifts offer creative and flexible strategies that cost nothing now and enable you to support the programs that matter most to you. At the same time, they may also enable you to make more significant support than you thought possible while at the same time allowing you to achieve your financial, philanthropic, and real estate planning goals.
A Legacy Gift can be as simple as including a bequest provision in your will or trust or naming The University of Utah Honors College as a beneficiary of your life insurance policy or retirement plan. Options are available that can pay income to you during your lifetime or pass assets to your heirs with little or no tax penalty. Regardless of its size, your gift will make a difference in the lives of students and faculty at The Honors College.

Payroll Deduction
The University of Utah offers a convenient way for faculty and staff to contribute to their favorite causes through payroll deduction. By setting up a recurring donation, a portion of each paycheck will be automatically deducted and directed to a designated department or program of your choosing. This hassle-free method not only supports the Honors College and our students but also allows for consistent and sustainable giving. As little as $5 per month from your paycheck makes an immeasurable impact on what we can do.
To get started, employees can visit the University's official payroll deduction sign-up page or contact Janette Schimpf at j.schimpf@honors.utah.edu.
