Meet the Challenge,
Make a Greater Impact
The Jackson School of Geosciences invites you to join the first-of-its-kind Legacy Challenge for the school.
Here’s how a single gift can make a greater impact. If you document a new future gift of $100,000 or more through your estate plan, the Jackson School of Geosciences will make an immediate donation (while funds last) to the department, program, project or area in the school that you choose! Your gift will make an impact today and a lasting one in the future.
The process is easy. Complete this simple form to initiate your planned gift. Or you can download and complete an Estate Intention Letter and email it to our experienced planned giving advisors Andrew West and Lucy Allman to get started. With no burden on your pocketbook today, you can provide support to the people and programs within the Jackson School of Geosciences that mean the most to you.
Join the Jackson School of Geosciences Legacy Challenge today!
You will leave a lasting legacy that benefits countless future students and make an immediate impact on the people and programs within the school you care about the most.
Your gift will inspire others, and it will give us the opportunity to thank you by welcoming you into the Texas Leadership Society — a family of over 2,000 generous Longhorn alumni and friends who receive special opportunities and recognition.
If you are ready to document your planned gift now, please complete this simple form.
