Donors can leave their legacy, support DMU and enhance the university’s campus by making gifts to sponsor trees and benches:

• Tree — $1,500
  Tree sponsors will be recognized with a ground-level plaque.
• Bench — $2,500
  Bench sponsors will be recognized with a plaque attached to the bench.

All plaques will read, “A gift from __________”

Sponsors also may add one of the following phrases to their plaque:

• In honor of __________
• In memory of __________
• In tribute to __________

DMU’s Development and Alumni Relations team works with each donor to identify the location of their tree or bench. Trees and benches are maintained by the university’s facilities management team.

To become a tree or bench sponsor, select the appropriate fields on our online gift form or contact us at 515-271-1454 or donations@dmu.edu.

Groups wishing to partner together to donate a tree or bench should identify a point person to work with the university on the gift. All gifts through crowdfunding must reach the required donation amount before installation can progress. Contact donations@dmu.edu to organize a crowdfunding campaign.
