Can I make a gift to Eastman in honor or in memory of someone?

Yes. Gifts can be made to any fund at the Eastman School of Music in honor or memory of a loved one. Many alumni and friends have chosen to recognize cherished classmates, colleagues, and teachers this way as well. Please include the name of the honored or memorialized individual(s) with your gift.

Does Eastman accept gift matches from my employer?

Yes. Your company may be able to help you increase the amount of your gift to the University of Rochester through a matching gift program. Many employers have policies that can effectively double or even triple the amount of contributions of cash or securities by employees and their spouses. When considering a gift, please be sure to inquire whether your employer has such a program.
