The Next Century Society
Leave a lasting legacy by ensuring children will have access to the best early childhood education well into the future. Learn more about our Next Century Society.
The Next Century Society recognizes and honors extraordinary individuals whose estate gifts will educate young Hoosier children for generations to come. You can become part of this visionary group simply by making a planned gift to Early Learning Indiana. Membership involves no dues or obligations of any kind, and membership information is never shared with other organizations. We periodically hold special events for the Next Century Society members. Members who have given their permission may be recognized from time to time in our publications.
What is a planned gift?
A planned gift is a gift that is planned now to be given at a later time. Unlike cash donations, they are typically made from assets in your estate rather than disposable income.
How do I make a planned gift?
- Most planned gifts are made in the form of a bequest in a will. Giving through your will or trust offers a way to support ELI’s mission for generations while meeting your current financial needs.
- Income gifts allow you to make a gift and receive income back for you or a loved one. There are several ways to accomplish this tailored to your personal goals.
- Other creative gift plans provide opportunities to transfer ownership of your home, farm or other treasured asset to ensure your dream of helping Indiana’s youngest learners.
