Gifts Through Bequests

A will is the foundation of a well-formulated estate plan and is one of the most important ways a donor can support the School of Medicine. Through a bequest, donors can create a lasting legacy to support the growth and advancement of biomedical research and medical education. An outright bequest may be a gift of personal assets, a specific dollar amount or a percentage of your estate. A bequest may also establish a trust or gift annuity to provide income to your spouse or another beneficiary, with the assets later passing to support the School of Medicine. Bequests should be made payable to The University of Maryland Baltimore Foundation, Inc. for the benefit of the School of Medicine.

If you would like to learn more about opportunities to support the University of Maryland School of Medicine, please contact the School of Medicine Office of Development at (410) 706-8503 or 1-877-FUND-SOM.
