Legacy Gift
Legacy Gift
Legacy gifts are a meaningful way to ensure the future of civil engineering by supporting the ASCE Foundation through planned giving. Options for planned gifts include wills, trusts, retirement funds, and insurance plans. Consult with your attorney to designate the ASCE Foundation as a beneficiary in your estate plans.
To let us know of your intent to make a planned gift, please complete the Declaration of Intent Form online. All information shared will be kept confidential.
Our Estate Planning Guide simplifies the process, helping you create a gift that reflects your values.

Bequest Language

It is the easiest and most popular way for you to make a future, lasting commitment to us. To make your gift, please share the following wording with your attorney, who will add it to your will or living trust.
