What Will Your Legacy Be?
Whether you are reflecting upon your life’s accomplishments and your hopes for a personal legacy, or taking steps to create an estate plan that incorporates your values while meeting your or your family’s current and future financial needs, consider making a planned gift to Bentley. Planning a future gift will ensure that a Bentley education is available to the students of tomorrow, so they, too, can build careers as ethical, globally-focused business leaders.
