Women continue to make up a growing number of philanthropists interested in creating an influence on society. According to the Women’s Philanthropy Institute, women hold around 40% of global wealth and are more likely to give than (as well as give more than) their male counterparts.

Responding to this trend, UIF’s Office of Gift Planning and Trust Services (“GPTS”) has updated its “Estate Planning Guide for Women” donor guide. Three versions have been produced (one co-branded with each of our Universities), and they can be found on UIF Online under “Gift Planning -> Gift Planning -> DONOR RESOURCES – [University Abbreviation]”. Each version’s final page includes a customizable text field where you can enter your contact information.

These documents are great leave-behind pieces as you work with women to help them meet their personal, financial, and philanthropic goals. Please contact GPTS (217.244.0473 or GPinfo@uif.uillinois.edu) with any questions
