Transforming the Lives of Our Students

There are many ways that your generosity can transform the lives of our students. Philanthropic gifts enhance academic excellence and innovation, expand breakthrough research, and provide contemporary, high-tech facilities for learning, study and research. Our students have always driven forward with purpose. Now it’s time to illuminate the world, sparking the imagination and support of those who will go on to create an even more meaningful future.

Cash, Checks, Credit Card, PayPal

Charge your gift online. The university's secure online giving site can process your credit card contribution to provide immediate support.

Gifts of Securities

Gifts of appreciated securities may offer better tax benefits than a gift of cash. Please ask your accountant or broker to contact the Kent State University Foundation for instructions.

Real Estate

The university accepts real estate, including undeveloped land, farms, commercial buildings, vacation homes and residences.

Bequests provide a way to leave a legacy after your lifetime. You may also establish a trust or annuity that can provide income to you or a loved one while benefiting the university.

Payroll Deduction
