Planned Giving Societies
Heritage Society - The UALR Heritage Society was established to recognize alumni and friends who have made provisions in their estate plans for gifts to be made to the University. These gifts may take many forms, including simple bequests by will, gifts of life insurance, or life income gifts such as gift annuities and charitable trusts. Many of these forms of giving offer substantial financial and tax saving benefits, often complementing a donor’s overall estate plan. A list of members of the UALR Heritage Society is available online.
