Donation Methods
Donation by Bequest
The Yamaguchi University Fund has established a donation by bequest system with a cooperating trust bank to facilitate procedures for alumni, faculty members, staff members, and general donors who wish to donate a portion of their assets to Yamaguchi University in the future as a bequest in their will. The bank can handle complicated inheritance procedures on the donor's behalf, from preparing an inventory of bequeathed assets to implementing estate division procedures.
Those interested in donating in this way should contact the Yamaguchi University Fund Office, which will then help establish contact with the cooperating bank.
We will ensure that your generous bequest will go to help develop educational research at Yamaguchi University.
