LEGACY Demonstrating your commitment to the value of lifelong learning is easier than you
thought possible. By leaving a bequest, or naming the Lifelong Learning Program as a
GIVING beneficiary under your life insurance policy, IRA, deferred-compensation plan or similar
retirement plan, you may be able to leave a larger legacy than you ever imagined, and
allow future participants to benefit from the same programs you enjoy.
These gifts not only support the vision and mission of the Lifelong Learning Program
but they help the university achieve its goals of creating meaningful impact on the
community for many years to come. You and your family will take pride in your
generosity and forward-thinking while ensuring the continuation of a community
treasure. We publically celebrate legacy gifts to encourage others to emulate your
generosity—so establishing your legacy is doubly significant through the example you
set for the whole community.
Another way to galvanize your generosity is to create an endowment. An endowment
will ensure your gift in perpetuity and secure the future of high quality lifelong learning
activities in Northeast Ohio. This type of giving provides a permanent stream of income
