Why Give?

Engage. Connect. Transform. As the preeminent liberal arts college in an urban setting, Trinity College prepares students to be bold, independent thinkers who lead transformative lives.

Through thoughtful gift planning you can make the gift of a lifetime, one that reflects your values and leaves a lasting impression on students, faculty, programs and facilities for years to come.

A gift plan can provide you substantial tax benefits, especially when you give stock or real estate. Depending on your situation, you may save income taxes, capital gains taxes, probate expenses, and estate taxes.

The Elms Society was founded by the Board of Trustees to recognize those, who through their estate planning, have made an important commitment to the future of Trinity. Hundreds of Trinity alumni and friends have joined the society by notifying the college of their plans.

Our donors and the beneficiaries of their generosity have stories to share. Read some of their stories.
