Planned Giving

The 1959 Heritage Society

 

Members of the 1959 Heritage Society represent alumni, parents, and friends of Bishop Fenwick High School that have kindly included the school with their planned giving. These members believe in the mission of Fenwick and want to ensure that the wonderful educational programs, faculty, and facilities of today continue for future generations.

Here are 3 easy ways to create your legacy at Bishop Fenwick High School with a planned gift:

  • Will or Trust: A very easy way to create your legacy at Fenwick is through your will or living trust. You can name the school in your will or trust with a specific dollar amount or a percentage of your estate. Just a few sentences in your will or trust are all that is needed. You can share the below sample language with your estate planning attorney:

I give to Bishop Fenwick High School, an educational institution with a place of business at 99 Margin Street, Peabody, Massachusetts the sum of $_______ or ______% of my residuary estate to be used for __________ purposes.
 
  • Retirement Plan Designation: Another very easy way to create your legacy at Fenwick is through a retirement plan designation. You can designate the school to receive a specific amount or a percentage of your retirement plan.

  • Charitable Gift Annuity: Many people see a Fenwick gift annuity as a way to leave a legacy that both reflects their philanthropic values and plays an important role in their balanced retirement portfolios. A gift annuity is an easy-to-understand contract between you and the school in which you receive guaranteed income for life in exchange for your generous gift to the school. A gift annuity provides the peace of mind that comes from an assured income stream and leaves a legacy for future generations.
