Bequeathing
For the dedication of testamentary gifts, you can choose between a donation, an endowment or the re-establishment of a trust. Your gifts are tax-deductible.
Dealing with your mortality can be difficult at times. However, if you want to make sure that the resources available to you are used according to your expectations after your death, feel free to reach out to us and make an appointment for a consultation.
Benefactor Dr. Gerhard Metzger
It is a great honor for us as a foundation to have Dr. Gerhard Metzger as a supporter by our side. His commitment as a donor, as well as his willingness to share his story and motivation in the current FORUM magazine, mean a great deal to us. His desire to give something back is truly inspiring and plays a significant role in encouraging others as well.
From scholarship recipient to benefactor: toward the end of his career, Gerhard Metzger returned to Mannheim and to his alma mater, where he has since become deeply engaged — through endowment contributions, scholarship funding, and a planned legacy gift. Speaking with FORUM, he looks back on a fulfilling professional life, shifting perspectives, and friendships that have endured for decades.
Making a better future together
The University of Mannheim Foundation is pleased to announce the publication of its new brochure on the subject of bequests.
By leaving a legacy to the Foundation in your will, you can do good for the long term. Your legacy will enable us to support important research projects, excellent academics and talented students and doctoral candidates at the University of Mannheim.
If you want to arrange your inheritance effectively and meaningfully, many questions will also arise. We have compiled the topics that come up time and again in conversations with alumni, friends and supporters in the brochure “Making a better future together”.
You are welcome to order this brochure from us. Unfortunately, it is currently only available in German.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us personally.
