During Stanford's Day of Giving, May 14-15, consider a gift of $40 honoring 40 years of the Haas Center for Public Service at Stanford. Your gift will count towards the 40th Anniversary Challenge benefitting the Haas Center Annual Fund. Plus, every gift of $1,985 counts toward our Haas 1985 Challenge and earns you a spot on the anniversary honor roll. Your gift will be matched dollar for dollar, up to $5,000, thanks to a group of generous Stanford trustees.

Planned giving opportunities
When you make a planned gift such as a bequest, trust, or life income gift to the Haas Center, you not only create a legacy for public service at Stanford, you also contribute to the greater good by investing in the next generation of public service leaders.
Making a bequest to the Haas Center is easy. There is no minimum amount and bequests are exempt from federal real estate taxes. You may include the center in a new will or trust instrument, add a codicil to your present will, or amend your present trust instrument to provide for the support of public service at the University. You can designate your bequest to be a specific dollar amount or a specific asset such as real estate or securities, or you can simply provide that Stanford is to receive a percentage of your estate, the residue of your estate, or your entire estate. You may also make the Haas Center a beneficiary of your IRA, 401(k), or life insurance policy.
If you notify the University of your bequest to the Haas Center, you are included as a member of the Founding Grant Society, which the University established to honor alumni, parents, and friends who have included Stanford in their estate plans. Members are invited to participate in a number of special events each year.
