The Centennial Society, established in 1994 in honor of Shipley's Centennial year, honors those who kindly provide a future gift for The Shipley School. Gifts of all sizes combine to play a critical role in supporting faculty compensation and student tuition assistance for generations to come.
The most straightforward way to become a member of the Centennial Society is to name Shipley as a beneficiary of your retirement account or as a beneficiary in your will or trust. Sample bequest language below will help you complete your plans. Other planned gifts might include life income gifts, such as charitable gift annuities, charitable remainder unitrusts, or gifts of life insurance.
