Planned Giving

Many loyal and generous friends of Louise S. McGehee School can do much more for the School financially and can help themselves in the process by utilizing gift-planning techniques. While outright gifts of cash are critical to McGehee's success in reaching current school objectives, we are also committed to securing our future through these mechanisms. Here are some examples:

  • Include a bequest to McGehee in your will
  • Give Appreciated Securities
  • Establish a Charitable Lead Trust
  • Gift your Retirement Assets
  • Establish a Charitable Remainder Trust
  • Gift of Real Estate or Partial Interest in Real Estate
  • Charitable Gift Annuities

Society of 1912
Membership in the Society of 1912 confers special recognition on behalf of benefactors who have determined to reach beyond their own lives to enhance opportunities for future generations of McGehee's students.

Instructions for including a bequest to McGehee in your will:
Write on a plain sheet of paper in your own handwriting: (1) the date, (2) the words "I leave the Louise S. McGehee School, Inc. the sum or $_______ (or _______% of my gross estate, or _______% of my net estate after debt and taxes)" and (3) sign it. Do not type any part of it. Put it with your will if you have one. If you wish, you can specify the particular use to which you want the money to be put, such as a scholarship for the children of alumnae.
