Year-end giving
to BGSU aids students, gives tax relief
Throughout 2004, the faculty and staff
of the University have touched the lives of thousands
of students. In addition to the important work done in
the classroom and around campus, faculty and staff have
supported students by funding scholarships and other important
initiatives. As donors, faculty and staff have reached
new levels of commitment and engagement with BGSU in the
last year. Their increased support is allowing BGSU to
expand opportunities for students and the entire campus
community, according to Amy Edgar Davis, director of annual
giving.
Davis says, “As we near the end of 2004, please
consider BGSU in your year-end giving plans. A convenient
way to make your gift is by using our online giving Web
site at http://foundation.bgsu.edu,
or call the Development Office at 2-2424 for other giving
options, including payroll deduction. Remember, if you
make your gift before Dec. 31, it can have a positive
impact on your tax situation, as well as on the lives
of current students.”
