LSU Libraries
All good research and scholarship performed at a university begins and ends with its libraries. LSU Libraries supports the work of students and faculty by providing information services, collections, and facilities that will help their scholarship make an impact. Through its commitment to excellence, LSU Libraries serves as an indispensable intellectual resource for the state of Louisiana, and to communities worldwide.

You can increase your LSU legacy by making a planned gift to LSU Libraries. The most common planned giving method is a bequest in a will. Other planned giving methods include charitable remainder trusts, charitable lead trusts, retirement assets, life insurance, real estate, and more.
Your gift of appreciated stock, securities, or property may be exempt from capital gains tax and qualify for a charitable deduction while supporting the college.
Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match charitable contributions made by their employees. To find out if your company has a matching gift policy, contact your human resources department or click here and search for your company’s name.
If you are an LSU employee on the flagship campus, you can make a one-time or recurring gift via payroll deduction.
An endowed fund is a perpetual source of support for a meaningful purpose. The principal is invested, and only a portion of the earnings is spent annually. This is a great way to create a lasting legacy.
