ANNUAL GIFTS
Annual gifts to the Capstone Communication Society help students build careers, fund research, meet mentors and equip themselves with the tools they need to make their mark. For those who give to it, the fund is also a way to continue the traditions of excellence and opportunity for which the College is known.
For more information about annual giving, contact Brie Campbell at bacampbell6@ua.edu or 205.348.2383.
ENDOWED GIFTS
An endowment in the College of Communication & Information Sciences is a gift intended to permanently support a College program. The endowment fund remains intact in perpetuity, while its earnings support students, faculty, and programs designated by the donor.
Endowments allow the College to create and maintain excellence in academics beyond what can be accomplished with funding from the state. Endowments provide the funds for scholarships, fellowships, professorships, academic chairs and programs that serve as crucial elements in student and faculty recruitment and retention.
A minimum of $25,000 is required to establish an endowment. However, an endowed gift may be pledged over a period of five years. Endowments can be established with cash gifts, securities or liquidated property. They may also be funded through a bequest or other deferred gift or through a combination of lifetime and deferred gifts.
