Planned and Special Gifts

Leave a Legacy for Generations to Come 

Planned Giving Is For Everyone

Many Gordon College supporters choose to leave a donation in their wills and trusts as an important way to have long-term impact, without any upfront cost during their lifetimes.

Making a will is one of the most impactful ways to extend your love and generosity to the causes and people you care about most. Legacy giving isn’t only for the wealthy—gifts of any size are deeply appreciated and have come in sizes ranging from $100 to $1 million. Together, we can continue making an impact for years to come.

How it works:

1. Use this free tool to create your legal will online, or document your wishes and find an attorney near you.
2. Specify within your will the amount or percentage of your estate you’d like to leave (if any) to Gordon College and other charity organizations.
3. Rest assured knowing you’ll be making a positive change for generations to come.
