Planned Giving
James Wallace Society
In 1887, James Wallace joined the Macalester faculty and forever changed the future of the college. Over the next 50 years as a faculty member and president, he helped the college define its distinguishing values and its standards of excellence. Through the James Wallace Society, the college recognizes individuals whose gifts of future support are helping to ensure Macalester's continued excellence.
Joining the James Wallace Society is easy to do and is a great way to give back to Macalester without changing your lifestyle. The easiest way to join is to name Macalester in your will or trust, or as a beneficiary of your retirement account or life insurance policy. Another way to join the James Wallace Society is to fund a charitable gift annuity with a gift of cash or stock. You benefit by receiving a charitable tax deduction and guaranteed income for your lifetime and Macalester benefits by receiving the remainder. These are just a few ways to support Macalester through a planned gift.
- I am interested in learning more about planned gifts.
- I have already included Macalester in my estate plans.
- I would like someone from the college to contact me.
We were so pleased to welcome guests to the annual James Wallace Society Dinner on Thursday, June 2, 2022. Guests enjoyed reconnecting with familiar faces, meeting current students, and hearing from President Rivera and other distinguished guests. We are grateful for the generosity of those who make a commitment to Macalester's future through an estate provision or a life income gift, recognizing them as members of the James Wallace Society.
Save the Date for next year's dinner! Thursday, June 8, 2023.
