Honorary & Memorial Program

The Honorary & Memorial Program is a wonderful way to honor a friend or family member’s birthday, wedding, anniversary, or other special accomplishment. It can also be a meaningful way to mark the passing of a loved one. We are always pleased to help our donors acknowledge these significant occasions.

To recognize an individual, please send a note telling us that your gift is being made in memory or honor of a particular individual/s. In addition to the letter we will send to acknowledge your thoughtful donation, we will also send a letter to the individual or family your gift commemorates. The amount of your gift will not be included in the notice. Please be sure to tell us which fund your gift will support and provide us with the full name and address of the person/s you would like us to notify.

The University will also create named funds, which not only help the University and its students achieve their academic goals, they are a very meaningful way to honor individuals and families. These special funds can be supported by a single donor or through multiple-donor campaigns.

If you have any questions concerning the Honorary & Memorial Program, please contact Paula Watson by paula.watson@ia.pitt.edu or by phone at 412-624-8247.
