Planned and Estate Gifts

Planned gifts are particularly attractive to SF State alumni and friends who live in areas where real estate appreciation has increased exponentially over the last few decades. In addition to including SF State in your will, it's possible to establish an annuity or other income-bearing arrangement that actually benefits you and possibly your heirs, and at the same time benefits SF State!

Membership in the Alexander C. Roberts Legacy Society is an honor bestowed upon those who have informed us that they have included SF State in their estate plans. The University recognizes Roberts Legacy Society members on our special donor wall and at a private annual recognition event. Learn more about planned giving or contact Tom Mullaney, Esq., or Steve Kelton, Directors of Planned Giving, at (415) 338-1042 or giftplan@sfsu.edu.
