The Gilmour Fund provides annual support to our students, faculty and staff. It helps contain tuition costs and provides financial assistance to students who otherwise might not be able to afford a Gilmour education.
Making arrangements today for a future gift to benefit Gilmour is a thoughtful gesture of gratitude that expresses your faith in our future. Planned giving can provide valuable tax benefits for the donor and provides Gilmour with substantial and meaningful gifts. To learn more about planned giving options, please visit gilmourlegacy.org or contact Ray Murphy at (440) 473-8089 or murphyr@gilmour.org.
Restricted Gifts includes contributions that the donors have designated for specific projects or programs such as endowed and restricted scholarship funds. For more information, please contact Misty Musson at (440) 473-8000 x1206 or mussonm@gilmour.org.
The state of Ohio has recently passed an initiative that can benefit Gilmour and our students. You can make a donation to one of two Scholarship Granting Organizations (SGO) and receive a dollar-for-dollar state tax credit up to $750 annually. Learn more about how to support Gilmour at little to no cost to you.
