Yale Legacy Partners

Yale Legacy Partners recognizes alumni, family, and friends who are helping to build Yale’s future by designating the university as the recipient of a bequest or other planned gift.

Sustaining Support

Through their generosity and foresight, Yale Legacy Partners members are playing a key role in ensuring the ongoing vitality of Yale and helping to provide for generations of students and scholars to come. Yale Legacy Partners are invited to special in-person and virtual events throughout the year, including an annual luncheon.

You are eligible for membership in Yale Legacy Partners if you have named Yale as a beneficiary of your:

  • Will or trust
  • IRA or other retirement plan
  • Life insurance policy
  • Life income or other planned gift (charitable gift annuity, pooled income fund, charitable remainder trust, charitable lead trust, or remainder interest in a personal residence)

You may choose a particular area of interest to support or allow your gift to fund key priorities determined by the university’s leadership.
