Build the Future with Spalding University

Explore ways to make a planned gift and leave a legacy at Spalding.

Please Note: While Spalding personnel may work with donors to further their charitable, financial and estate planning goals, donors are ultimately responsible for ensuring that the proposed gift furthers those goals. Donors are encouraged to seek the advice of independent legal, tax and financial counsel in the gift planning process. Spalding does not provide legal or tax advice.

Tulip Poplar Society

The Tulip Poplar Society members are Spalding donors who have chosen to leave a legacy with the university through our planned giving program. By planning for their futures, they are ensuring the future of Spalding and making college affordable for our students.

Tulip Poplar Society membership recognizes the legacy of these donors not only for supporting Spalding, but also for inspiring generosity in others. Society members receive invitations as honored guests to Spalding gatherings and special private events as well as recognition in digital and print donor honor rolls.
