Private support is critical to maintaining the level of high-quality education programs at Ferris State University. Your gift can be designated for academic,
cultural or athletic programs or other areas of your choice. Unrestricted gifts are especially helpful. These gifts are used in the areas of greatest need, and give
Ferris the flexibility it needs to take advantage of opportunities it may not be able to otherwise.
Gifts to the Ferris State can be made in the following ways:
- Cash gifts (checks made payable to Ferris State University) are deductible up to 50 percent of your adjusted gross income.
