Build a legacy for JSU STEM students.
JSU STEM Foundation helps alumni and supporters fund scholarships, mentorship, conference travel, career bridges, and student opportunity. Planned gifts, beneficiary designations, IRA gifts, and donor-advised fund grants can create the kind of long-term support that turns one weekend of momentum into a permanent pipeline.

No minimums and no obligations. Structure your support around your life, your family, and the legacy you want to leave.

Donate directly from your IRA.
If you are 70 1/2 or older, you may be able to give directly from your IRA through a qualified charitable distribution. If you are 73 or older, a QCD may also help satisfy part or all of your required minimum distribution.
