Planned Giving

Philanthropy is very personal. It is about you and your legacy; it is about giving back. Or, another way to put it—giving forward.

A planned gift is one that will benefit WPI at some point in the future, but may also benefit you and your loved ones now and WPI later. We invite you to dream with us about WPI’s future. Its prospects are bright and you have an important role to play in strengthening this institution for generations yet to come.

It is truly gratifying to hear from a student that I’ve made a difference in what he was able to accomplish.

Jake passed away in 2008, and at his 50th Class Reunion in 2010 I was honored to accept his Class of 1960 medallion. It's a wonderful reminder of our days at WPI, and it was important for us to give back through our planned gift.

I took a lot away from WPI, and I want to make sure students in years to come have the same experience.
