Gift and Bequest

A gift and bequest is a combination of a current gift and a charitable gift made in your will or trust. It's a simple way to support Wheaton College today while creating a lasting impact for the future.

How a gift and bequest works

  1. Make a gift to support Wheaton this year by contacting us or visiting our giving website.
  2. Then establish a charitable bequest. With help from your attorney, you can include language in your will or trust specifying a gift to be made to Wheaton as part of your estate plan. Or you can make a bequest by designating the college as a beneficiary of your retirement account or life insurance policy.

With a gift and bequest, your generosity will support the Wheaton students of today and tomorrow.
