The Lawrence-Downer Legacy Circle recognizes those who have taken a positive step to assure the continuity of the traditions, values, and educational excellence at Lawrence University. It provides a way for people to participate in the future of the college by sharing their plans and seeing firsthand the results that can be achieved through their generosity.
Membership
Membership in the Legacy Circle is extended to anyone who has made a commitment to support Lawrence through a bequest and informed the college of these plans. Gifts may be channeled to specific areas within the college, such as scholarships, library acquisitions, or instructional equipment, or left to be used where needed most.
Request membership in the Legacy Circle or additional information using either an online or printable form (pdf-must have Adobe's free Acrobat reader).
Some of the more common examples of planned gifts include:
Many of these options can provide tax benefits and generate income for the donor and other beneficiaries.
All gifts and bequests to Lawrence are held in strict confidence. Those who have made such a commitment, and have informed the Office of Major and Planned Giving of that arrangement, will automatically become members of the Circle. Lawrence will not, however, publish names on the membership roster or publicly recognize these gifts without prior permission.
