Planning Your Legacy
Your desire to make a difference and leave a lasting legacy helps strengthen Lawrence's mission. Consider making an impact for students and faculty through a planned gift. These types of charitable arrangements may provide tax and other benefits to you while supporting Lawrence.
Our MissionAlways a Special Place Bequest and IRA Charitable Rollover
Jean Lampert Woy '65 and J. Richard Woy '64For us, Lawrence will always be a special place. We met there and made lifelong friends. The liberal education we received has provided a solid foundation for our careers and personal lives, sparking professional and personal interests we pursue to this day. This is why we joined the Lawrence-Downer Legacy Circle.
We also want to support Lawrence during our lifetime. Use of the required minimum distribution from a tax-deferred retirement account is a particularly effective way to support Lawrence. Our contributions from these funds are not taxed, so we can contribute the full amount to Lawrence, not just the amount after taxes.
Lawrence-Downer Legacy Circle
The Lawrence-Downer Legacy Circle recognizes alumni, parents and friends who remember Lawrence through a planned gift. We are grateful to the more than 1,090 members of Legacy Circle.
