The Legacy
Challenge
In the year 2066, Milligan College will celebrate its
bicentennial anniversary. Over the next 60 years, it is our goal that
alumni and friends of Milligan will build an endowment of at least
$200 million. This will require an unprecedented commitment. Sixty years may seem far off and $200
million may seem like a lofty goal, but it is a steady and broad-based
commitment to endowment support through estate gifts that makes the
difference over time.
Milligan stands as a “city on a hill” in
Christian higher education. Spanning three centuries, Milligan has
weathered storms through the heroism and dedication of servants who
were used by God to lead the college and establish a strong foundation
for the future. The college’s future is secure as we trust in God,
stand behind its mission, and set the tone for future generations.
What will your legacy
be?
We will all leave a legacy through the lives we have touched,
but how long will our legacy be sustained and what impact will it have
in the future? Too few people consider the opportunity to build a
permanent legacy through the organizations they value and support. We
all have the opportunity to make provision for Milligan through our
estate plans, ensuring that our resources continue to advance the work
of Christian education in our name? Our legacy at Milligan will stand
as a testament to our beliefs and values for our family, friends, and
for future generations of Milligan students who will follow our
example.
Why endowment?
A college's endowment provides an essential foundation for high
caliber educational offerings. Without significant endowments,
colleges are totally dependent on annual revenues from tuition and
gifts. A strong endowment allows the college more
discretion to make educational enhancements and increase scholarship
offerings. Endowment gifts are permanent, because the original gift
amounts are never used. They are a consistent and abiding legacy to
those who give them. Endowments perpetuate our goals and values and
extend our impact well beyond our lifetimes.
