Planned Gifts
Many people include one or more charitable organizations as beneficiaries of their wills. Most charitable bequests are outright and absolute. But you can make a deferred bequest to a charity--directing that the bequest be used to pay income to family members for life--and pass to charity only after the income benefits terminate.
If the donor wishes it, a charitable bequest can be restricted to a particular fund or ongoing need in the School of Music. We will be pleased to assist in planning a bequest to benefit the School of Music that will be practical, personally satisfying, and economically sound. For more information visit the Division of University Advancement.

Annual Giving
ISU Friends of Music (Annual gift of $25 and more)

Friends of Music gifts support programs and activities that allow students and faculty to excel. These unrestricted funds are generally in the amount of $25 to $2,500 and provide flexibility that allows the School to pursue its curr ent priorities or take advantage of unforeseen opportunities. Members of this giving group receive newsletters and special reports detailing the usage of funds. Other benefits may include invitations to events, subscriptions, executive briefings, ticketing assistance, and more, depending upon giving level. For more information please contact the School of Music at (812) 237-2771 or isu-music@mail.indstate.edu.
