Ensuring Wartburg College’s Long-Term Success
The Heritage Society was established in 1977 to thank and recognize alumni, parents, and friends who have included Wartburg College in their estate plans. We believe those who make provisions for future gifts to Wartburg hold a special place in the life of the college. They regard the college as a family member when placing Wartburg in their estate plans, providing for both their family and the charities they care about. More than 650 households now hold membership in the Heritage Society.
Member Recognition
Heritage Society members are recognized each year at the Homecoming Luncheon, when new members receive an exclusive framed watercolor print of Old Main. If you have included a gift to Wartburg in your estate plan and have not let the college know, please do so.
Options
A planned gift may be personally presented to Wartburg or be arranged for delivery through the donor’s estate. For many Heritage Society members, a planned gift is a natural extension of their generosity to Wartburg during their lifetimes.

Our team would be happy to speak with you in confidence about your giving goals, with no obligation.

More ways to make an impact
Gifts in a will or trust
Donations in your will or trust are (by far) the most popular type of planned gift. Learn more, or get help starting your will (for free!).
Beneficiary designations
Gifting assets not covered by your will — like 401(k) or IRA accounts — may help your heirs avoid unwanted taxes, even if you’re below the estate tax threshold.
Popular tax-smart gifts
Many people are increasingly choosing to give non-cash assets, so they can have a bigger impact at less cost to them.
