REQUEST INFORMATION

At Penn, the goal is not simply to excel—it’s to challenge assumptions and discover new and better ways of thinking about and doing things.

From innovative initiatives to brave new programs, Penn is pushing the boundaries of expectation and discovering new opportunities for creating impact in our classrooms, our neighborhoods, and our world.

The University’s Office of Gift Planning is here to help integrate charitable intentions into your estate, tax, and financial planning. With a variety of charitable giving tools and techniques, our office can help you plan a meaningful gift that makes a difference for you and Penn.
