“Giving a scholarship is easy; the work of the students is what’s remarkable.”
JOHN & MARY ORMSBY

John and Mary Ormsby support what they believe in—and they believe in supporting education for Chicago students of limited economic means. They show their support not only by being engaged with the Daniel Murphy Scholarship Fund and its Scholars, but also through their charitable giving.

By planning ahead and including DMSF in their estate plans, the Ormsbys and others like them are providing resources and opportunities that the young Scholars of Chicago might not otherwise have. “Gifts to the DMSF really benefit the kids,” insists John. “Giving a Scholarship is easy; the work of the students is what’s remarkable.”

“We have direct contact with students, and can see how DMSF’s involvement is changing lives,” says John, “It’s our time to give back.” “Their whole life is ahead of them,” adds Mary, “the future of our society is at stake, and these kids never disappoint.”

John describes the Daniel Murphy Scholarship Fund as having “a culture of helpfulness”— both inside and out. We’re here to help you choose the gift that best matches your lifestyle and intentions.

INCLUSION IS MEANINGFUL
Chuck and Barbara Gately believe in the effectiveness and the results of the Daniel Murphy Scholarship Fund so much that they have included DMSF in their will.

When Chuck and Barbara Gately needed to update their wills to account for changes of life and law, they took the opportunity to include the Daniel Murphy Scholarship Fund. They were longtime friends and supporters of the organization, and made the decision to document their support in their estate plans.

“Simple inclusion is meaningful,” says Chuck Gately. “Any gift can make a big difference.” Chuck encourages his peers to make sure their immediate family is cared for, then consider the funds that are available for great organizations—like DMSF. “This is a great place to invest your charitable dollars. The education of talented students of limited economic means is immeasurably impactful.”

Chuck is correct that gifts of all sizes and types can make a big difference. We’re here to help you choose the gift that best matches your lifestyle and intentions.
