Gifts of Celebration
Recognizing Accomplishments

Memorial Gifts
A gift made in memory or in honor of a teacher, student, relative or friend is a generous and thoughtful gesture recognizing an individual’s life and accomplishments.

When an honorary or memorial gift is made, the URI Foundation notifies the honoree or next of kin. To make an honorary gift, please send a letter indicating the purpose of your gift as well as the name and address of the honoree. For memorial gifts, if a memorial fund has not previously been established, your check should include the name of the honoree and the name and address of his/her next of kin.

The URI Foundation staff will work with you to find a creative way of giving that is beneficial to you, your family, and the University. They have years of experience and are pleased to explore possibilities with donors or with donors’ legal or financial advisors.
