A Bequest to Further Good Work

A Bequest to Further Good Work
Nancy and David were dedicated alumni. Over the years, they had seen many young leaders graduate from MSOE. They wanted to create a legacy to provide future resources to continue our mission.

David: The work of MSOE is important to us. We regularly made cash gifts but wanted to do more. We received the alumni magazine, Dimensions and noted that we could make a gift from our estate and join the 1903 Society and receive so many great benefits. We saw a picture of smiling people just like us, and we wanted to be part of that group.

Nancy: We met with our lawyer to revise our wills, and we each included a provision for a bequest to charity. Our lawyer put language in the will that allows a percentage of our estate to go to MSOE. This was easy to arrange and permits us to still use our assets during our lives if we need them.

David: We told their gift officer about our decision and were excited when we were invited to a special event honoring the members of the 1903 Society. We will continue to make gifts during our lives, but it feels good to know that our support will help in the future.
