Mike & Sharon Perkins
From University of Dallas undergraduates to benefactors who have provided for the university in their wills, Mike Perkins, BA ’78, and Sharon (Kapavik) Perkins, BA ’79 MA ’89, have a relationship with UD that has evolved over time, not unlike that between children and parents: “Like one’s adult kids, we’ve come back home at various intervals,” explained Sharon Perkins. “There’s a reason your university is called your ‘alma mater’.”

More ways to make an impact

Donations in your will or trust are (by far) the most popular type of planned gift. Learn more, or get help starting your will (for free!).
Beneficiary designations
Gifting assets not covered by your will — like 401(k) or IRA accounts — may help your heirs avoid unwanted taxes, even if you’re below the estate tax threshold.
