Planned Giving
The Heritage Society
Planned gifts create extraordinary opportunities to support St. Cloud State. The Heritage Society comprises alumni, parents, and friends who, through thoughtful estate planning, deferred giving, and other forms of planned giving, ensure that resources will be available to support St. Cloud State far into the future. Planned gifts come in all sizes and can be designated to support virtually every facet of the University, from academic programs and student life to scholarships and athletics. The impact of your own planned gift, which qualifies you for membership in the Heritage Society, will last forever and impact generations of students at St. Cloud State.
