50th Reunion Giving
Your 50th Reunion is a time to remember and to celebrate your Haverford experience, to reconnect with old friends, and to become acquainted with the College today. In honor of this milestone, we encourage you to consider how your reunion gift will help to perpetuate Haverford for future generations of students.
What Makes up the 50th Reunion Gift?
There are three categories of gifts that count toward 50th Reunion giving—current gifts, life income gifts, and deferred gifts. We encourage you to make a current gift and a life income or a deferred gift in honor of your 50th Reunion.
Current Gifts
There are two kinds of current gifts and all are credited to the 50th: Contributions to Annual Giving and other outright gifts.
- Gifts to Annual Giving are the top priority for the College and can be made any time during the year of your 50th Reunion. Multi-year commitments to Annual Giving are welcome!
- Consider a special gift to an institutional priority that speaks to you—such as financial aid.
Life Income Gifts*
These gifts provide you and/or a loved one income for life while also securing Haverford’s future.
- Charitable Gift Annuities (minimum gift $25,000)
- Charitable Remainder Trusts (minimum gift of $100,000 if Haverford serves as trustee)
Deferred Gifts that will be paid to the College at a future date include:
- Will and trust provisions
- Beneficiary designations for retirement accounts, annuities, and fully paid life insurance policies
*Life Income Gifts and Deferred Gifts are recognized with membership in the Jacob P. Jones Society, Haverford’s legacy society.
