LEGACY SOCIETY
... Leaving a Legacy for Future Generations …
In legal terminology, legacy is a gift of money or property left by a donor in his/her Last Will and Testament. A planned gift allows the donor to make a final gift, many times of a much more generous size than may be possible during his/her lifetime. Such gifts are sometimes the most meaningful endorsements of the benefits and values associated with Jackson Preparatory School.
Becoming a member of the Legacy Society demonstrates solid commitment. This is a donor who values the legacy, supports the mission, and in doing so, understands the importance of endowing the future. He/she joins our Legacy Society, having named Jackson Preparatory School Foundation, Inc. as a beneficiary in his/her Last Will or Trust or by naming the Foundation as owner of personal property or a new or existing life insurance policy.
The following donors have documented a planned gift and joined our Legacy Society:

Planned Gifts
Through a planned gift to benefit the future of the school, you may experience the joy of making the maximum gift at the minimum cost. Leave a legacy and maintain the tradition of excellence for future generations at Jackson Prep. Let us help you find the perfect tax-wise gift.
Bequest
• Donate money, property, or a share of your estate residue through your will
• Can either be outright or contingent on heir survivorship
Living or Testamentary Trust
• Create a trust that will provide payments to you or a relative for life and then part or all of the remainder to Jackson Prep
• Provide for heirs first and Jackson Prep thereafter
Charitable Lead Trust
• Fund a trust that provides payments to Jackson Prep for a term of years and then pays the remainder to family members

Life Insurance

Qualified Retirement Plan
