Leave a Legacy for
LIFELONG LEARNING
WAYS TO GIVE Will or Living Trust A charitable bequest requires just a few sentences in your Will or Living Trust and can be modified throughout your lifetime as circumstances change. To initiate your gift, share this recommended wording with your estate planning attorney:
Legacy Giving Information For over 25 years, Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at UAH has provided our community intellectual programs and social interaction for adults 50+ through a variety of courses, special events, social activities, travel, and volunteer opportunities. OLLI at UAH is strong and vibrant, but our long-term financial stability is dependent on the generosity of private donors. The nonprofit organization is self-supporting, with the goal of raising approximately one-third of its funds from private sources, one-third from the annual interest of the Bernard Osher Endowment, and the remaining funds from OLLI membership fees and tuition. A meaningful way to help provide OLLI at UAH’s longevity is to leave a legacy for lifelong learning. You can ensure the program you care deeply about will be around for lifelong learners through the ages by making a planned or estate bequest.
