Leadership in Philanthropy: The Department Chair Who Left a Legacy
The Dr. Gladys E. Wadsworth Physical Therapy Research Fund endowment is created through an estate gift.
Thank you for your interest in planned giving at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. Planned giving allows donors to leave their own legacy while securing a bright future for the institution. It is immensely important to our mission and vision for the future.
A legacy gift commitment is a relatively affordable way to support the School of Medicine and may allow you to give at a level you never imagined possible. There are many ways to make such a gift. It can be done through a bequest, life insurance policy, retirement plan, charitable trust, real estate or any combination of these. Your legacy gift commitment can even be designed to obtain current income and estate tax advantages and can also pay income to you or your loved ones for life.
A legacy gift commitment conveys membership in the Frank C. Bressler Legacy Council, a donor recognition group established in 2008. This leadership group honors donors who have made provisions through their estate plans or other planned giving vehicles to support the School of Medicine.
I invite you to learn more about planned giving at the University of Maryland School of Medicine by exploring this Webpage or by contacting a development professional in our office.
Dennis Narango, CFRE
