        The Heritage Society

        About Us

        The Heritage Society is a group of dedicated alumni, parents, and friends who have decided to name Wagner College in their estate and/or financial plans.

        More than 200 members of the Heritage Society have already made a commitment to the lasting future of Wagner. We encourage all alumni and friends to consider naming Wagner in their estate and ensure that the college has the necessary resources to be successful far into the future. Anyone who notifies Wagner that the college is named as a beneficiary of a gift through his or her estate, or through an endowed gift in his or her lifetime is automatically enrolled.

        To join the Heritage Society, please download and complete the Estate Intention Form and return via email to the director, David J. Martin, Esq. at dmartin@wagner.edu. Please feel free to call him at 718.420.4341 if you have any questions. As a licensed attorney, he has been able to assist many of our members with their estate planning.

        Interested?

        Interested in joining the Heritage Society? Take a look at our Estate Intention Form. To officially become a Heritage Society member with Wagner College, we ask you for you to email or mail the above form to the Institutional Advancement Office in Reynolds House. If you already have Wagner listed in your estate but you have not filled out the Estate Intention Form, we may not be aware of your gift. We take great pride in honoring those who have left Wagner in their estate and we want to honor you too!
