Oregon Stater - Fall 2024

CREDIT TK During his career, Dale Greenley, ’69, developed a microbial check valve to ensure astronauts have safe drinking water — an innovative technology now used in developing countries, too. In retirement, he chose a giving vehicle that helps generosity flow: a charitable gift annuity that creates a reliable stream of guaranteed, fixed income payments for life. Greenley put himself through OSU by working summers in a sawmill. “Kids can’t do that anymore; you have to be rich to go to college, or come out with excessive debt,” he says. Creating a gift annuity supporting scholarships and the microbiology department “was a simple process from my standpoint. They take care of the paperwork. I just wait for the money to come in.” A life income gift provides a reassuring stream of income for you and your loved ones now, then supports OSU in the future. Contact me to learn more.
