Legacy Giving
College of Fine Arts is grateful to all of our donors who have established endowments for the perpetual support of our faculty, students and programs. These funds provide a predictable stream of growing income for the College, without which many of our programs would not exist.
Create a legacy at FSU that will last far beyond your own years. Endow a fund or contribute to an existing endowment in the FSU College of Fine Arts. Managed by the FSU Foundation in accordance with its published investment policies, your gift can be invested with the earnings used to fulfill the purpose(s) for which the fund was created. Funds may be created for scholarships, fellowships, lectureships, research, professorships, library acquisitions, academic chairs, technical equipment, capital improvements or any other educational purpose of Florida State University.
