Southwestern Law School relies on our alumni and friends to keep the school strong for generations to come. 

Through planned gifts to Southwestern’s endowment, and through endowment gifts during the donor’s lifetime, the school has permanently memorialized more than 80 supporters in its scholarships, faculty positions and programs.  These endowed gifts support only some of the core functions of the law school, and we have many more areas where you can make a profound difference:

  • Student scholarships
  • Faculty positions
  • Programs
  • Clinics
  • Facilities and locations

In addition, legacy commitments give Southwestern an enhanced ability to invest in important strategic projects and plan for the future.

Not only will legacy donors have the satisfaction of having made a difference in the future of Southwestern, but the benefits can be immediate:

  • Significant tax benefits while maintaining financial security for them and their families
  • The ability to make a larger gift than might otherwise be possible
  • The opportunity to establish a permanent memorial for a relative, friend or in one's own name
