Is the Scholarship Fund already in your plans? Please let us know so we can properly thank you and make sure your gift will be used as you've intended.
Thirty-years ago, two brothers, their family and friends decided they wanted to provide educational opportunities for high achieving students to succeed in high school and college who otherwise would not be afforded the chance. With this idea and vision, the Daniel Murphy Scholarship Fund (DMSF) was founded and since then more than 2,600 Chicago students have been awarded the Daniel Murphy Scholarship.
Members of The 1989 Society have expressed their commitment to DMSF through a very special and important form of financial support. These donors have named DMSF as the beneficiary of a planned gift. Such gifts might include some of the options below. We're always available to help you choose the gift that's right for you.
Through a provision in your written and executed will, you can make a gift in the form of cash, securities, real estate or personal property. There are many types of bequests. Choose the one that best fits your needs and intentions.
