Planned Giving
Together we can empower a better tomorrow.
Many Palm Beach State College Foundation supporters choose to include a gift in their wills. It's an incredibly powerful way to invest in the future of our community and have an impact for generations to come, but without any cost to you now. When you choose to make a contribution, the Foundation works with you to ensure your wishes are fulfilled.
Introducing FreeWill
Everyone needs a will and, if you don’t have one or haven’t updated it in years – get started now! To make it quick and easy for you to begin writing your will, we’ve partnered with our friends at FreeWill, who have developed an intuitive, online will-writing tool that is entirely free and typically takes no more than 20 minutes from start to finish.
In addition to taking care of your family and loved ones, you can use this free estate plan to include a gift to the Foundation for Palm Beach State College, which is a great way to establish a long-lasting legacy of opportunity for generations to come, without costing you any money today. This tool is free to you whether you choose to include a gift to Palm Beach State College or not and can be used to create a fully valid legal will or guide you through planning your will before finding a lawyer near you.
The Palm Society
Give the Gift of Education
Legacy giving offers us a way to make a difference, far beyond the measure of one lifetime. Palm Society members have seen the impact of prior gifts and want their legacy to have the same kind of impact in the future. And your gift will have meaning and impact for years.
Members of the Palm Society imagine a future where no student is turned away from Palm Beach State College because of money. They believe a college education should always be affordable and accessible.
Becoming part of this community of givers is easy. Simply make a gift to Palm Beach State College in your will or trust and let us know. We will take care of the rest.
