areas where investments add to state support and enable Boise State
to achieve excellence in particular programs. Other gifts raised during a
campaign go toward the university’s endowment to ensure long-term,
stable support.
Q: What gifts count as campaign gifts?
In this comprehensive campaign, we count all gifts and philanthropic
grants toward the campaign goal. Additionally, we count pledges and
qualifying bequest expectancies.
Q: Can Boise State use donor funds to lower the price of tuition?
Many donor contributions are used for scholarships and fellowships to
offset tuition costs, with thousands of Boise State students benefiting
from philanthropic generosity each year. The Idaho Legislature sets
tuition rates for all public universities in Idaho.
Q: Can the donations from the campaign be used to boost faculty
salaries?
In a way, yes. For more information about endowed faculty positions,
talk with your development officer.
Q: Will all areas of campus benefit from the campaign?
Yes. All colleges, schools and units, including athletics, will be part of
the campaign and have established their goals and funding priorities.
Q: Why document an estate gift?
Providing Boise State with information about your bequest will help
ensure your wishes are met. With respect to designating specific
purposes or programs, we can review the language to make sure it can
carry out your intentions and, in case of an endowed fund, that the
necessary endowment language is included.
