The 1774 Society

The 1774 Society recognizes those individuals who have become partners in the tradition of educational leadership by including Newark Academy in their estate plan or another type of planned gift. We welcome, as partners, those who have created in their estate plans gifts by annuities, charitable trusts, retained life estates and gifts of life insurance and bequests.

An Invitation to Join the 1774 Society

Members of the 1774 Society have expressed their commitment to Newark Academy through a very special and important form of financial support.

These donors have named Newark Academy as the beneficiary of a planned gift. Such gifts might include a bequest, gifts of retirement accounts and gifts of life insurance.

Once you complete your estate plans, please fill out our member profile form to let us know. We would like to thank you for your generosity by including you in the 1774 Society.

Membership Benefits

Your membership involves no dues, but it does allow us to thank you and recognize you for the plans you have made, and it may inspire generosity in others.

Benefits of membership in the 1774 Society also include invitations to special events and an annual update on Newark Academy.
