The Charles P. Adams Heritage Society of 1901 was established by the Grambling Black & Gold Foundation in 2005 to recognize alumni and friends who have included Grambling State University in their estate plans. Financial and estate planning involves some of the most important decisions you will make in your lifetime. The University's planned giving program can help you to make those decisions in a secure and professional environment that benefits you. The estate planning program promises you the highest degree of service and confidentiality.
Would you give and give more if you could? All estate and planned giving begins with that question. Estate planning is the thoughtful way to ensure the future distribution of your assets as you intend, possibly secure a lifetime income from those assets that may be greater than you now receive, and make a charitable gift to help future generations of students share the same Grambling State University experience you, as alumni, did. Planned giving benefits your family and heirs, while also helping current and future GSU students. The Charles P. Adams Heritage Society of 1901 will include alumni and friends of GSU who will receive special benefits from their planned gifts as well as deceased members whose foresight or foresight of their loved ones now provides the University with perpetual support.
