Legacy Society

Taking its name from the eternal impact these donors will make with their gifts, the Legacy Society honors those brothers and friends who choose to remember the Sigma Phi Epsilon Educational Foundation in their estate plan. Legacy Society donors document their planned gift by naming the Sigma Phi Epsilon Educational Foundation as beneficiary of estate gifts such as bequests, life insurance policies, charitable remainder trusts, charitable gift annuities, living revocable trusts, or various retirement plans. Legacy Society Donors are recognized by adding their name to the Richard Henning Legacy Society Wall at Kief House as well as in SigEp publications.

Donors who wish to join the Legacy Society can document their planned gifts by using sample language in their bequest or by completing the Legacy Society Confirmation Form.

For more information on making a planned gift please contact Matt Andrew, Chief Development Officer at 804.357.9637 or matt.andrew@sigep.net.
