We accept many forms of philanthropic support, including cash, securities, endowments, donor-advised fund contributions, planned gifts, in-kind donations, charitable grants, and more. Complex gifts undergo review by the University’s Gift Acceptance Committee to ensure appropriate stewardship and feasibility.
A shared services fee, up to five percent, is applied to philanthropic gifts to support essential stewardship, reporting, compliance, and fund management infrastructure.
Endowment Policy
Endowed gifts create permanent, mission-driven resources that support scholarships, faculty excellence, research, and community impact. All endowments are governed by Roseman’s Endowment Policy.
Endowments are invested under the oversight of the University’s Investment Committee to ensure enduring stability and growth, preserving the donor’s legacy for generations.
Donor Recognition & Naming Rights
Roseman University celebrates the generosity of our donors through a thoughtful, consistent, and mission-aligned recognition program. Naming opportunities, recognition societies, and cumulative lifetime honors are governed by our Donor Recognition and Naming Rights Policy.
