24.1 THROUGH THE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA FOUNDATION.

a. The University of Iowa Foundation is organized to establish memorial funds in the University in honor of deceased alumni, friends, faculty, or staff members. The University of Iowa prefers that private gifts and bequests be directed to The University of Iowa Foundation (in legal documents the "State University of Iowa Foundation").* Contact the Foundation office for specific language which will ensure gifts of a "deferred" nature are directed to The State University of Iowa Foundation. When memorial gifts are made, the Foundation notifies the next of kin, and honors whatever purpose a fund may be established to serve. If the gift is sufficiently large, a permanent fund can be set up, with investment income from it used as the next of kin or major donors desire. Smaller gifts may be added to a general memorial fund maintained by the Foundation which is used for scholarships, or any departmental gift fund in the Foundation. All memorials created are given recognition in the Annual Report of the Foundation.

* Gifts and bequests to support The University of Iowa College of Law also may be directed to the Iowa Law School Foundation, which predates The University of Iowa Foundation and which functions as another private nonprofit corporation. All gifts are processed through the Foundation, and all Law School Foundation contributors are recognized as contributors to The University of Iowa Foundation.

b. Similarly, honorary gifts may be made, and honorary funds may be established, at The University of Iowa Foundation, which notifies the person honored.
