The William Bentley Legacy Society is a recognition society for those who have provided for Allegheny College through wills, charitable gift annuities and/or charitable remainder trusts. Others have designated the College as a beneficiary of their life insurance or retirement assets.

Members of the William Bentley Legacy Society are recognized in the College's annual Report of Gifts and other publications (unless they prefer to remain anonymous).

Recognizing members of the Society is important to Allegheny. Not only does it provide us with an opportunity to express our appreciation, but it may inspire others to support the College through their estate plans. Meet some of our members.

If you are celebrating a class reunion, some deferred gifts to Allegheny may be eligible for inclusion in your class reunion gift. In addition to boosting your class gift total, your deferred gift also will qualify you for membership in the William Bentley Legacy Society.
