How to Give

Annual Fund

We rely on the Annual Fund to close the gap between the actual cost of educating our students and the income from tuition, which does not cover all our costs. We must maintain the immediate benefits provided by the Annual Fund. The goals and objectives of the law school will be achieved only if the Annual Fund continues to grow. Every year, and particularly during your class reunion year, you have a special opportunity to make a difference with your annual gift to The John Marshall law School.

There are many ways of making a gift to The John Marshall Law School.

These include:

• Gifts of Cash
• Gifts of Securities and Real Estate
• Life Income Arrangements
• Bequests
• Life Insurance
• Matching Gift
• Memorials

Major Gift: Restricting Allows High Impact Philanthropic Opportunities

Restricted gifts help support a specific program or groundbreaking initiative in which the donor has a particular interest. Naming opportunities allows our generous contributors to create a lasting tribute for their family or loved ones, while directing their funds to the school’s highest priorities.The John Marshall Law School’s emerging strategic and academic plan features four areas requiring philanthropic partnerships. Taken together, these four areas represent the School's highest priorities. Each priority ensures that John Marshall has the human and physical capital necessary to produce the best talent and knowledge necessary to improve legal education. Working with members of the law school’s Foundation, donors can determine personally rewarding ways in which to support one or more of these areas.
