Your donation to the University of Alabama at Birmingham doesn't have to come all at one time. There is a way that your support can be given today and tomorrow through what is called a "blended gift."
This approach to giving can take many forms. The common thread is the combination of current and future gifts. To take advantage of the blended gift approach, you select a way to donate today that makes sense for your situation. Then you choose a way to continue that generosity in the future through a deferred gift.
Gifts Made Today | Combined With | Gifts Made Tomorrow |

Stocks and Securities | IRA/Retirement Plan Assets | |
Real Estate | Life Insurance | |

An Example of How It Works
Mary has supported UAB for more than 20 years. She has made gifts of cash or stock each year. Supporting our mission brings her immense satisfaction and allows her to model her philanthropic values for her family.
But Mary wonders what will happen to the programs made possible through her annual gifts after she passes away. Her financial advisor suggests adding a bequest to Mary's will to extend her support far into the future.
Mary adds a bequest in her will for $125,000 to go to our endowment fund. We only use a portion of the endowment each year to support our services and programs. The remainder is reinvested, which allows it to grow and support Mary's annual payouts indefinitely.
Thanks to her careful planning, the programs and goals most important to Mary will thrive during and after her lifetime.
