Ways to Give

A gift to Nazareth University is meaningful no matter if it’s large or small, earmarked or unrestricted, one-time or ongoing. Contact us if you would like additional information.

Nazareth Annual Fund

  • Support the University's highest priorities, from financial aid and international experiences to library resources and lab equipment.

Planned Giving

  • Wills, trusts, and other assets can benefit both the University and
    the donor.
    • Make My Free Will
      • To help you get started on your plans and legacy, you can use FreeWill, an online tool that guides you through the process of creating your will or trust. It's easy to use, accessible online, and can be completed in 20 minutes. You can use our FreeWill resource on its own, or to document your wishes before finalizing your plans with an attorney.
      • Have you already included a gift to Nazareth in your will or trust? Please fill out this form to let us know. We would love to thank you for your generosity.
    • Designating Beneficiaries
      • Do you have an IRA, 401(k), life-insurance policy, or any other assets not included in your will? If so, these are called non-probate assets and you must plan your beneficiaries for them separately. Use our FreeWill online tool to make your plans and designate us as a beneficiary of one or more of these assets.

Create/Fund an Endowed Fund or Scholarship

  • Endowed funds and scholarships generate a perpetual gift, such as to support a faculty position or make a Nazareth education affordable for students year after year.

Chris and Anne McCaffrey

CHRIS '87 AND ANNE MCCAFFREY '89

Anne Ulrich met Nazareth basketball star Chris McCaffrey on her first day on campus in 1985 and they have now been married more than a quarter-century. Chris is the president of Ulrich Signs in Lockport, N.Y. and Anne serves as a Nazareth trustee and president and CEO of Eastern Niagara Health System.

"Nazareth prepared us well for our careers," says Chris, citing the public speaking skills, writing skills, and appreciation for community service they learned in college. "We owe it to try to help current students," says Anne, "and so we give in an unrestricted manner, letting the school determine its needs at any given time."
