Welcome to Planned Giving

Making a planned gift is a wonderful way to show your support and appreciation for The Elisabeth Morrow School and its mission while accommodating your own personal, financial, estate-planning, and philanthropic goals. With smart planning, you may actually increase the size of your estate and/or reduce the tax burden on your heirs. Just as important, you will know that you have made a meaningful contribution to EMS.

We are pleased to invite you to join The 1930 Society by including EMS in your estate plan, whether through a will or other planned gifts. This esteemed society, named for the year of our school’s founding, honors those who make a lasting commitment to our future. If you have already included EMS as a beneficiary in your will or trust, please let us know so we can properly acknowledge your generosity.

We recommend that you familiarize yourself with various gift options by exploring How to Give and What to Give. Then compare gift options and/or calculate how these gifts could work for you. And of course, please contact us for assistance or to discuss your personal situation and objectives.
