Giving to academic colleges

Unrestricted gifts to the Shocker Fund equip the academic college of your choosing with essential resources and technology.

Corporate and foundation giving

Partnering with Wichita State equips your company or foundation with the brightest minds to address the challenges facing our world and offers corporate recognition for generations of students to come.

Planned giving

Planned gifts are essential to our mission of advancing Wichita State.

  • Bequests – A gift through your will or trust lessens the burden of taxes on your family.
  • IRA Charitable Rollover – Anyone age 70 ½ and older can reduce their taxable income by giving directly from their IRA.
  • Charitable Gift Annuity – Annuity gifts provide you a guaranteed stream of income for life at a rate based on your age.
