Planned Giving Society Membership

Meet members

Lewis & Clark celebrates anyone who informs the college of an intended gift through his or her estate as members of our Heritage Society. The Heritage Society includes nearly 300 alumni, parents, and friends of the college whose gifts support Lewis & Clark in its endeavor to foster a community where agile minds learn, explore, and work together.

When you name Lewis & Clark as a beneficiary in your will, trust, life insurance, or retirement plan—or establish a life-income gift with us—you become a member of our planned giving societies.

Heritage Society

Our Heritage Society honors those who include the College of Arts and Sciences or the Graduate School of Education and Counseling in their estate plans.

Elliott Circle of Friends

Our Elliott Circle of Friends honors those who include the Law School in their estate plans. It is named in recognition of Neva Elliott, a 1935 law school graduate whose 2001 bequest endowed a scholarship for evening-division students.

As a society member, with your permission, we will publish your name to encourage others to follow, while keeping the details of your gift in confidence.
