Gifts to Doane University help to support the mission and experiences at the university. Every gift is important to sustaining our vision of academic excellence and quality. To recognize this tremendous investment, Doane University has established donor societies and clubs. Through events and publications, we hope to keep society and gift club members informed about the activities and initiatives of the university.
The Heritage Society
The Heritage Society allows Doane to recognize individuals who make a gift through the donation of an estate, deferred or planned gift. Estate, deferred and planned gifts are instrumental in the growth of the endowment fund.
The gold level recognizes individuals who have committed to an irrevocable gift. Silver level recognizes individuals who have made a revocable gift commitment.
Gifts may be channeled to specific areas in the university such as school, library, acquisitions or instructional equipment or left to be used where needed most.
