The 2023 Legacy Society
Since our 1823 founding, Virginia Seminary has been blessed with a tradition of generosity. This has enabled VTS to become strong and financially stable, poised and prepared to train lay and ordained leaders for the 21st century Church.
By including VTS in their will or trusts or by having made life income gifts to the Seminary, many alumni and friends have helped ensure our long-term health. Through planned giving, these friends and alumni often make their largest gifts.
Planned giving encompasses a variety of ways that gifts can be made from accumulated resources. It leads to legacy and lets anyone concerned with the wise use of his or her personal resources make a considered choice about their ultimate disposition.
Those who have let VTS know of their estate plans are members of The 2023 Legacy Society, which is co-chaired by Mary Lewis Hix and the Rev. James (Jimmy) M.L. Grace ’05. Their wise counsel and deep conviction around legacy giving are invaluable.
Our Annual Report features a list of The 2023 Legacy Society members and we would be honored to include your name. If you wish to talk about legacy giving or if you would like a forum in your parish on this topic, please contact us at legacy@vts.edu.
