Recognition of Planned Gifts
The Joseph Baldwin Society, named after the University’s founder, was created in 1992 by the Truman State University Board of Governors to honor and recognize those who have provided a planned gift for the benefit of the University through the Truman State University Foundation. The University thrives today as a result of Baldwin’s vision and commitment.
Membership in the Baldwin Society is achieved by written confirmation of a deferred gift commitment. Members of the Baldwin Society are invited to the Foundation Banquet held on campus each year.
Qualifying gifts for the Baldwin Society include:
- Bequests | Sample Bequest Language
- Charitable Gift Annuities
- Charitable Remainder Trusts (Unitrust and Annuity Trust)
- Life Insurance
- Life Estate
- Other Life Income Arrangements
