You want to give back: Southeastern Louisiana University has made a difference in your life, and you want
to do something in return.

and your gift fosters prosperity through the initiatives it supports.
It’s good business: Your gift is an investment for you because it allows you to take advantage of tax
and estate benefits.

that open doors to events and activities that are enjoyable and socially rewarding

and what it represents is important to you.
