Heritage Society
An Invitation to Join the Heritage Society
Members of the Heritage Society have expressed their commitment to the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine through a very special and important form of financial support. These living donors have named the National Academies as the beneficiary of a planned gift. Such gifts might include:
- a bequest
- charitable income gifts
- charitable gift annuities
- charitable remainder unitrusts
- charitable remainder annuity trusts
- gifts of life insurance
Members of the Heritage Society are honored at each of the annual Academy meetings and at other special events. Heritage Society members are listed in Academy publications and on the donor recognition plaques at the historic National Academy of Sciences building and Keck Center in Washington, DC, and the Beckman Center in Irvine, CA. Members are also presented with a cast Heritage Society medal as a memento of our gratitude.
