“I went to Lake Forest College on scholarship because my dad was an out-of-work truck driver, and I feel like I’m just returning the investment that the College made in me.”
- Susan Katz Hoffman ’70
Donna Merrill and Sam Stout, both ’68, met at Lake Forest College and have maintained lifelong friendships in a class that is so tight it is jokingly referred to as a “cult.”
“Lake Forest College exposed me to a much wider array of diversity and afforded me the opportunity to manifest leadership qualities that may otherwise have been latent or not exercised in prior academic settings,” Russell says.
- Rosalind Curry ’70 and Russell ‘69 Jackson
Welcome to Gift Planning
Making a planned gift is a wonderful way to show your support and appreciation for Lake Forest College 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 Lake Forest College.
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.
