Planned Giving

Every person who enters our halls has a special relationship with The Wilson School. Making provisions for a planned gift is a great way to pay tribute to your unique Wilson experience and leave a legacy to this exceptional educational institution.

A Planned Gift, or bequest, is a future gift made through a donor’s will that takes effect at or after their passing. With a Planned Gift, both gift and estate taxes are avoided, and the donor does not have to part with any property or assets until after death. Distributions can be made at a specific dollar amount or as a percentage of the estate.

Examples of Planned Gifts include:

Simple Bequests
Charitable Gift Annuity
Charitable Remainder Unitrust or Annuity Trust
Pooled Income Fund
Beneficiary Designation or Retirement Plan Asset, IRA, Bank Account or Life Insurance Policy

All planned giving donors will be included in the Mabel Wilson Society. This group will ensure the legacy of our founder, an innovative educator and loving woman.
