Continue Supporting Our Work After Your Lifetime
Beneficiary Designations
Passionate about supporting the University of Houston with our mission even after your lifetime? It's not only possible, it's easy to do with a beneficiary designation. Just name UH as a beneficiary to receive assets such as retirement plans and life insurance policies after you're gone. You simply fill out a form that is entirely separate from your will—which makes this approach an easy way to give.
Not only is it an easy way to give, but it's also flexible—you aren't locked into the choices you make today. You can review and adjust beneficiary designations anytime you want.
Leaving a Legacy of Support
Thom Guthrie has been working in professional theatre for 44 years, with 14 of them being at the University of Houston, where he is designer and house manager of the Moores Opera Center.
Thom credits the University of Houston administration for placing a high priority on the arts as a way of exposing the university to the community and beyond, but realizes that in tough financial times, there is not much money to preserve the opera house. Thom is leaving two separate endowments to the University of Houston in his will—one in honor of his mother, the Kathleen Childress Guthrie Harrison Endowment that will support the opera house, and the other to support the Moores School of Music and its operation.
Supporting students at UH through beneficiary designations of bequests in the will, as Thom did, can be can be a very simple process. Contact us to learn more.
