Naming Opportunities
Naming opportunities exist for endowed chairs, professorships, postdoctoral and graduate fellowships, and laboratories. Deferred gifts and other tax planning approaches can make more substantial gifts possible. Through a planned gift, donors can give assets to the University of Utah Biochemistry Department while retaining the income. In addition, bequests can be made as a specific gift of cash, property or a percentage of an estate.
