HERITAGE SOCIETY
Creating a legacy plan allows you to decide how your values and financial resources will benefit the people and organizations about which you care the most. Conveying your financial assets to heirs and charitable organizations as part of your legacy plan can be done through a will, living trust or beneficiary designation on a retirement account or life insurance policy. HOBY works with alumni and friends who want to create a legacy plan that supports the organization’s mission and advances its position as a beacon for youth leadership. Anyone who includes HOBY in their planning is eligible for membership in the HOBY Heritage Society.
