How Can I Give?

Please make your check payable to CWRU and include a brief note instructing us how to designate your gift. Please mail to:

Case Western Reserve University
Advancement Services
10900 Euclid Avenue
Cleveland, Ohio 44106-7035 (please be sure to include these last four digits) 

To make a memorial or honorary gift by cash or check, please include a note that indicates the name of the person you are memorializing or honoring and the family contact name and address (for memorials) or the individual's name and address (for honorary gifts). We will be sure to notify the family/individual of your thoughtfulness.

Electronic Fund Transfers (EZ Giving)

There are many advantages to electronic bank transfers. You never have to worry about a check being lost in the mail and most importantly, it's safe and free.

You may have any amount (minimum $10) automatically deducted from your checking account or debited to a credit card monthly. Just like electronic banking, your generous contribution is easily and automatically transferred. We call it E-Z Giving!

Just complete the contribution form and send it with a first payment check (so we can list the correct routing information.)

Personal Property and Real Estate Gifts

The School of Medicine gladly accepts gifts of tangible personal property or real estate. Gifts of real estate can include principal or vacation homes, farms, commercial property or land. Property can include works of art, letters, equipment and other tangible goods. The Office of Gift Planning would be happy to work with you to determine how such gifts can fit into your estate planning.

Planned Giving

Planned giving is a method of including charitable giving in your total financial plan. There are many effective vehicles—a bequest through a will or retirement account, a charitable gift annuity or a charitable trust, just to name a few—that alumni and friends of Case Western Reserve University use in support of the university. Moreover, many of these vehicles also benefit your personal goals by enhancing your future financial security.

• Saving for retirement
• Avoiding capital gains tax
• Providing for a grandchild's education
