At Northern Michigan University we recognize that when you support NMU and its students through planned giving you are making a very special gift.

Planned giving creates a legacy that will benefit generations of students and help ensure that the teaching, learning, and research objectives of NMU will continue to be achieved at the highest levels.

As a member of the 1899 Society you will share a very special place in our university family and inspire others to make a lasting and significant commitment to higher education at NMU.

As a member, you will also have privileged access to special university events, communications and other opportunities to share in the growth and achievements of our students.

Become a Charter Member

If you designate a planned gift of $10,000 or more prior to January 1, 2010, you will also be honored as a charter member of the Society.

Have you already made a planned gift to NMU?

Please let us know if you have already designated a planned gift for NMU, and you will automatically become a charter member of the 1899 Society.

Have you notified the NMU Foundation of your planned gift?

If you have arranged a planned gift but have not notified the NMU Foundation, please complete a Planned Giving Declaration of Intent (pdf) so that you will be acknowledged and recognized as a charter member of the 1899 Society.

If you are interested in discussing a planned gift to Northern Michigan University, please contact the NMU Foundation.  We will be happy to explain available planned giving options and to discuss which option might be best for you and your family.
