What is the Legacy Society?

The Legacy Society was founded to recognize alumni and friends who have made a gift commitment to the university through their estate plans. Legacy gifts include bequests by will, beneficiary designations of retirement accounts, life-income gifts through charitable gift annuities and charitable remainder trusts, gifts of real estate or personal property.

As a Legacy Society member, you will receive the following:

The SU Gift Planning team works in partnership with you (your trusted financial advisors, estate attorneys, and/or family) to ensure you feel confident in a plan that meets your needs while integrating the most effective/tax-savvy approach toward fulfilling your philanthropic vision.

  • Invitations to annual Legacy Society Luncheon and special campus events
  • Opportunities to engage with faculty, students and university leadership
  • The Legacy Society Newsletter with stories and helpful tips/examples from other SU donors who are maximizing their long-term impact via their estate and/or will.

Alumni, parents, and friends of SU who stay connected through the Legacy Society enjoy knowing that they are building the university's future and strong national profile.
We celebrate over 650 Legacy Society members! There is no minimum gift level and membership is for your lifetime.
