UTRGV Legacy Society

The UTRGV Legacy Society honors and celebrates visionary individuals who make a commitment to support UTRGV by directing assets to the University. Our Legacy Society members contribute to the success of the University by benefiting future generations of UTRGV students and faculty.

To qualify for membership to the Legacy Society, simply let us know that you have included a provision in your estate and financial plans for a future gift to The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley.

Here are some ways to create a planned gift to UTRGV:

  • Include a gift provision for UTRGV in your will or trust
  • Name UTRGV as one of the beneficiaries on your life insurance policy or retirement plan
  • Establish a life income plan – a gift that gives twice

If you are considering a gift through your will or trust, here is the language that you will need for your attorney.

We will ensure that your future gift is used exactly as you intend. For more information on the Legacy Society, how to plan your future gift, or to inform us of your planned gift contact:
