Planned Giving

Jane and Leland Stanford envisioned the university they created as a memorial to their only child, Leland Stanford Jr., and they funded their dream through a combination of outright and planned gifts. 

Today the decision to make a planned gift remains a signal of a deep commitment to Stanford and often reflects a desire to create a philanthropic legacy that will endure in perpetuity.
