Gift in Your Will or Living Trust
Deepen Your Connections
Bequests are by far the most popular planned giving option. It can be as simple as inserting language in your will or adding a codicil.
Remembering Pitt in your estate plan allows you to help the University that means so much to you without impacting your income today. You may direct your gift to support a specific program of your choosing—such as pioneering research, student activities, or a targeted scholarship fund.
You can specify a dollar amount to be given to the University of Pittsburgh or you can set a percentage of your estate. Gifts of any size further our mission to provide our students and the world with the highest quality education, research, and public service today, tomorrow, and beyond.
If you’ve already included a gift to the University of Pittsburgh in your will or trust, thank you. We encourage you to tell us about your planned gift using the contact form below.

With three minor children, Andrew and Amy knew that it was time to create an estate plan for their family. They found that the estate planning process helped them reflect on the people and nonprofits that were important to them and the legacy they would like to leave. They learned how easy and flexible it can be to include one sentence to make a gift to the University of Pittsburgh for a percentage of their estate or a specific dollar amount.
