The Stanford Athletics Legacy Circle (SALC) recognizes and honors individuals who provide future support for Stanford Athletics by making a planned gift benefitting the Buck/Cardinal Club, student-athlete scholarships, and other sport-specific initiatives.

By joining others who have made this important decision, you can take pride in knowing that your legacy gift ensures that Stanford remains the Home of Champions for generations to come.



Planned Giving Opportunities

With a planned gift, you can take care of yourself and Stanford Athletics. The experienced staff in the Office of Planned Giving are happy to help you explore the right planned gift option to help you achieve your financial and philanthropic goals.




SALC Member Highlights

Planned giving is personal. We hope you'll enjoy learning about donors who have
found meaningful ways to support the causes they love at Stanford Athletics.

“As former Stanford tennis players and national championship coaches, we understand how participation in Stanford Athletics contributes to personal growth and positive values. It gives us great pride to be Stanford Athletics Legacy Circle members, in our case, providing an opportunity to ensure the quest for sustained excellence of Stanford tennis—the University’s most successful program.”

-Anne, '72, MA '80, and Dick, '59, MA '60, Gould

“Over many years, our interactions with the student-athletes at Stanford have brought us great joy and pleasure. We are so proud of the Stanford Athletics program and its achievements. With our planned gift, we hope to ensure the continued excellence at Stanford for generations to come.”

-Nancy, '75, & Andrew '75, MS '76, Wyatt

“It’s hard to beat the financial advantages of establishing a CRUT at Stanford. There was a real tax advantage in contributing highly appreciated assets now, providing us with an annuity in the medium term, and benefiting Stanford Athletics in the long term.”

-Julie and Erik, '91, Jorgensen


“Our lives were changed immeasurably for the better as alumni and through volunteer work. We hope giving back affords the same Stanford and life experience for high-achieving, disciplined student-athletes.”

-Beanie and Tom, '63, Wong
