FAQs about the Rogers Society

Does my planned gift count toward my class reunion gift?
  • Yes, any gift that qualifies for the Rogers Society may be included as part of your gift to your class. Future gifts beyond five years may be given pro-rated credit. The Gift Planning staff can calculate your class credit for you.
I give annually and qualify for the Leadership Circle (NULC). How does my annual gift synchronize with a planned gift and do the two recognition societies work together?
  • Many donors want to see their dollars benefit students and programs during their lifetime and give generously annually. A planned gift (for example, an endowed scholarship set up in a will) sustains in perpetuity a legacy of lifetime gifts. Leadership Circle acknowledges your annual giving at levels over $1,000. The Rogers Society recognizes your estate and life income gifts, such as charitable annuities and trusts. The Gift Planning office can tailor a personalized plan that complements your annual commitment.
