Having highly trained teachers early in life proved critical to my success, and my hope is that my gift will allow Fresno State to continue to educate qualified teachers of the Deaf now and forever. This is my lasting legacy as well as that of my parents. ~Joe Slotnick

Benefits of a gift and bequest

  • Receive a charitable income tax deduction for your gift made to us this year
  • Continue to use and control your assets during your lifetime
  • Make a powerful impact beyond your lifetime with a bequest that supports what you care about most for years to come.

How a gift and bequest works

Contact us today to make a gift to support Fresno State. A charitable bequest is a way to make your giving go further. With the help of an attorney, you can include language in your will or trust specifying a gift to be made to Fresno State as part of your estate plan, or you can make a bequest by designating us as a beneficiary of your retirement account or life insurance policy.
